Hello Guys ,

I,ve been offered an Aircrew Europe and just wanted to know how to spot a real " un " from a fake as these are a tad expensive for a WW2 medal .

Cheers

Hi Grant ... the article Ed linked is the one. Here is an attributed ACE Star to a KIA Canuck. If you have these characteristics ... you are safe

Cheers Darrell ,

A mate of mine has a medal / jeweller,s and an old lady came in the other day with a group of WW2 medals which included the aircrew and said they were her uncle,s who was killed flying on the bomber,s but it had no paperwork .

It doesn't harm to doublecheck so i,ll get it and compare to these .

Thanks
