Picked up this small Kriegsverdienstmedaille today went with gut instinct as it looked good paid 20 GBP for it. Hope it is real. Picture of back and front.

It looks fine to me.

[Gunny Hartmann]

Looks honest to me but i'm not sure about the ribbon!...

Must agree with Gunny, the medal looks good however judging by the difference in wear between the medal and ribbon it appears that the ribbon has at some time been replaced.

Thanks Gentlemen , Really Glad that the medal is genuine , i know these are very common but it's a good starting block. Shame about the ribbon though , i'll get it right one day. I was hoping everything would be 100% as period or otherwise my OCD takes over . That ribbon will niggle at me now.

[Gunny Hartmann]

I'm not 100% sure the ribbon is a repro but if it is you can pick up a genuine piece for a few quid!..

[jimm]

Thanks again Gentlemen.

[VonRiver]

Imo good original Kriegsverdienstmedaille.

[Kevin Grootaers]
