Robin Lumsden Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Just picked this up on eBay, You can see where the idea for the 'helmet and leaves' design of the WW2 Ostmedaille came from. Edited June 8, 2016 by Robin Lumsden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolewts58 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I have my doubts because these are widely faked to a very high degree and routinely sold by "the Club" and its minions. Can you show close-up details of the dates and also the reverse, please? Also, what was the name of the seller? Edited June 9, 2016 by bolewts58 additional text.

The picture you originally posted from eBay with the marble background and poor lighting is typical of those regularly posted by the group of fakers who originated in Aaachen, but who are in other locals like Cologne.

dond Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 The only way to get them to take a return and refund your money is to leave very bad and explicit feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Lumsden Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm not bothering with trying to get a refund. The cross didn't cost much more than the postage !! Just one for me to put down to experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
