Good afternoon Gents!

 

I just bought this piece at a fleamarket in Belgium for 70€. How did I do?

This is a fake made in the early European market..

Hi David, 

 

Not an official award piece as they are two sided. On the bright side not a bad filler piece for a collection.

Will look for an official piece. Thanks guys for your replies.

Hi,

Here is an original one

Looks like a Goede item, unfortunately. Not worth the price of admission.

It sickens my heart to say so, David, but you did really bad here - I'm sorry for being that blunt! This is neither an original award nor, as someone might have thought, some inter-war wearers' copy. Please see here for additional information on these 1980s or 1990s so called "museum copies" by Göde.

Oh well. I just stick to studying militairy history. To each his own 😉

If I may suggest a web site, you can use from your phone as a quick reference.
