Hi Glenn,

I do not know for sure, but the Moderator on GCA Forum told me so. Anyway, after searching in my books and a few hour on the internet....I still think there is hope for this one. The ribbon past the UV-test, its silver for sure, the details on the medal for me looks perfect. I do respect the moderators judgement, but I just want some proof. The seller will take it back, but the medal is rare so I just dont know what to do.

What do you think of this medal ? (anyone)

Regards
Jørn

The uv light test is not always right. I have 2 fake ribbons that are not glowing under light. Burn a thread of the ribbon and you will know immediately if it is original or fake.

Well for me the details of the medal looked very fine, given this medal is very rare I would want some more evidence over what a GCA moderator says before returning the medal to the seller.
