    The Ost medals do have "zinc pest". Apply some vaseline to help arrest it. If you do a search on the forum you should get a low down on zinc pest. Stewy

    Here is the one I bought, I wanted to see how he worked and what not.

    How does it look?
    Seems "light" is that normal for these medals? I haven't held one before.
    Thanks

    Normal. This seems like it could be a later zinc medal,
    unless only the bronze finish is tarnished.........

    So, what are the different kinds of West Wall medals. Mine is a late period one?
    Where does mine fit in the different kinds?

    There were two separate awards of the West Wall Medal. The first ones
    were made of tombac/brass with a bronzed finish, and later in the war,
    a second edition in zinc was produced with the same bronzed finish.

    Many of the zinc type are losing - or have lost - their plating
    and the grey base metal shows through.........

    Interesting info, like I always say, as long as mine is real... I'm Happy.

    So, for displaying, should label as Second Edition?
