Sudetenland-Medaille

[Filip1945]

Hi.

Good?

[Paul R]

I dont know if this is me, but I do not like the detail on the swastika and eagle on the obverse. Also, I have never seen that type of rim defect before.

I made a few more pics, but I have a weak aparat.Medal rather good, because it is the soldier. Details are sharp . This may be a trace of the IMO form? I think that probably for the production of matrix?

It could be OK, but the details are not what I am used to seeing. I would love to have the input of additional members as well. Maybe I am being too selective?

[Filip1945]

that is original?

[Paul R]

I am in conflict on whether this example is original.

[J Temple-West]

Looks good to me.

[Paul R]

Thanks John. It looks like I was being a little paranoid then. The one I have seems to have a bit more sharpness in the details. Perhaps it was just a well worn die that made this one. John's word is one that I would trust any day.

[Filip1945]

Thanks for your help. So it goes with the original? Has anyone photo copy ?

[Paul R]

I have been very busy at work. but I will make time to create photos of mine for the discussion. I am sorry to take so long to post them.

Thought this may help...  Ever heard of the "Austrian variation"?  I don't know how legitimate that is, but here's a few images from around the internet of examples presented as genuine:

 

Also, here's an image from the now defunct Russian web-site, "antique-photos.com":
