Help Please-Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2.Klasse mit Schwertern and Kriegsverdienstmedaille, real or fake?
Heys guys, could you tell me if theres something wrong with these medals (i think there is a problem with the ribbon of the Kriegsverdienstkreuz 2.Klasse mit Schwertern). Actually these came from someone I dont trust at all so there is a great possibility theyre all wrong...Thanks everyone!!!

Apart from the Imperial EK2 ribbon on the KVK the medals look like good originals. I can't hazard a guess as to the authenticity of the ribbons as the flash does them no favours.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
The top Kvk has the wrong ribbon...that looks like a repro WWI EKII ribbon, btw...The medal itself appears good.
I see no problems with the bottom award...
cheers, Glenn
Thank you Adrian, you too Glenn, I will take better pictures next I see him, I knew that wasnt the right ribbon.
Two original awards

wrong ribbon on cross.
The War Merit medal ribbon looks like it was ironed and the silken ribbon on the reverse glossed from it.
Its a rather nice medal.
Here is my War Merit medal. IMO every collector should have one in their collection.
This statement puzzles me, why deal with him at all? When I don't trust someone, that's it, I don't deal with them, period.by Johnson
The thing is Todd, that ive managed to make a couple of good deals, actually he knows far less of what he claims (he sold me some decent original medals thinking they were reproductions) so I can save a few bucks. I respect your choice of dealing only with honourable dealers but sadly sometimes I dont have a choice due to the fact that I live in an army-less country like Costa Rica, so getting hold on some good militaria gets tricky. Also, if in doubt I ask the more knowledgeable: the members of the WRF
