Bump! Anyone want to chime in??

"The Homeland Thanks The Brave Soldiers" medal is original, it is not a fantasy table medal. However yours is unfortunately is a fake, originals are heavily silvered bronze and the details are far more crisp and embossed, the 1939 is also the incorrect size.

Many thanks for the information. Would you have an image of an original you could post - I have been unable to find one anywhere.

We'll be seeing a lot more of this type of thing. On E-bay recently,
I saw several dozen Third Reich tokens and coins with varied
designs - some which are direct copies of genuine articles.
I have also fallen victim to antique Chinese and Japanese
'silver' coins which are detailed fakes made of a metallic
resin-like material, but only realized they were bogus
after nearly $100.00 wasted, and some some quick
on-line research. One of the give-aways is a
painted-on 'patina' which will rub off
on your fingers.
Be careful out there.........!
