My first TWM

[Deruelle]

Hi everybody

Please find my new TWM . There is no hallmark on it. It seems to be an original. I appreciate your comments on it.

Looks good. It is a private purchased piece.

Christophe,

I don't usually comment on photos but two things are of concern here;

1-I am always suspicious of any badge/award where the needle extends below the body of the badge/award; (you can discount this comment.  I've reviewed other German made TWMs on this forum and lots of them have needles that protrude below the bottom)

2-It looks too new to me.  The Gallipoli Stars that I have in my collection are tarnished, which they should be, since they are 100 years old.

Regards,

Gordon

I'm not a big fan of this one either.  I can't place the maker as it has characteristics of several. The details on the obverse are weak as well.

Thanks for your comments. I have bought it through a big dealer in North America. I will try to send it back and try to refund money. I hope I will find a true one for my collection.
