Looks a good one to me but I'm on my phone so I will have s look on my tablet later. Could be by Hauptmunzamt Berlin. Cant give a value but suggest checking dealer prices . Regards Paul

Any chance of some clearer photographs ,Obverse, reverse & side view .I would expect to see some better definition in some places but this lack of detail could be caused by a worn die .I cant decide from the supplied photos if I can see casting errors (which would be a big no no) as these medals were of course die struck. There should be a small HC mark beneath the bow of the wreath on the reverse which would seal it as a Memel medal from Hauptmunzamt Berlin (the fakes have this to) hopefully clearer pictures will resolve these niggles .Regards ,Paul

I will try to get more pictures, I only have these from the seller. I will ask him to provide me with sharper ones.

I can tell you that the ribbon is authentic, at least. It has the scalloped edges of a period-correct example.

He just sent me these, but I cannot see a big difference in quality. I guess that's the best his camera can do

Is this of any help?

Thank you
