I leave a picture where you can see the glaze that separates the last two lines of the left wing, but skipped the groove is where the enamel would have to go.
This looks like a good first class Gibello.
The rivets show all the signs of being an original with the small hollow rivets that hold the olympic rings to the front of the award rather than the big doughnut rivets that you see on the postwar S&L reproductions.
The ribbon is a replacement but I could live with this one in my collection.
All the best

Thank you very much for your answer
I have to say that my initial impression of this piece is that I am not liking it much. I do not like the looks of the enamel, and the suspension loop is especially troubling. It could well be good, but this one would be nothing that I would invest money into.

I'm in agreement - I don't like it, But ???

Thank you very much waugriff and sarge for their opinion, I have compared with other pieces I've seen in stores and have seen almost identical except for the black welding has disappeared, but this piece by what I see has been cleaned with some kind of metal brush or something, because there marks scraped across the piece.
I leave the links to the shops so you can see and review.
