[ap1169]

I have these two PLM's. I can not find any markings on the medals. The one has 925 on the ribbon devise. Also, what would these be worth n todays market? Thank you, Robert

Sorry! When I listed these two PLM Medals they got commingled, so I reposted them individually. Thanks, Robert

I am no expert on the PLM but I have a problem with the mismatching of the arms in the center junction of the first one:

It's easy to tell, Real PLM is handmade, as you see that the golden one has 4 eagles with different details in each of them, it also has gaps between the legs. Meaning that the golden one is real. The silver one is FAKE, as its not made by hand
