If these are real they will be worth a few pennies... But I'm kinder thinking along the same lines as Harry here.. Fingers crossed. Cheers Terry.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Any obvious flaws you can see from the photographs? The detail on them is very crisp and the photographs don't really do them justice.
Re quality not being good enough - any specific points?
If they are not originals, any ideas where / when they might have been made?
Thanks

Just look at the poor detail in the swords for example

The grips on the swords are very soft-the blades are rough edged and poorly detailed. The soldered attachment points of the swords to the leaves is poorly done and sloppy and there is no sign of silver frosting on any parts of this anywhere. The right hand vein on the leaf is much too thick and wide. At the very best, these could be a jewelers copy, but I very much doubt it. It's just too crudely made. This award was a Horrendously high honor and only a very limited number(160) were actually awarded. Many examples seen today were never awarded at all, but were found unissued in the cases.
