medals- orginal?

I think you medal is original. The details are very good and IMO not the same as original posted in this tread. But its not easy to say when I don't have the two medals in hand.

Sonny, details are good in the last fakes too... Nick has the same medal showed by john in post # 1. You have showed 3 different original eagles but they have many points in common and no one have errors in design like these. Medals I called fakes have errors in designm please take a look to the added pic. The 12 years in post # 1 is not goldened. The little eagles have flaws. There are too many strange mistakes. Personally I would like another one exactly like this accepted from experts as original.

I diden't see the little eagle at first. I'm afraid you are right, Fabri.

I hope to be wrong of course but unfortunately there many negative signs as sayd.
I have maken a little research in WAF and I have not meet another one like these two medals.
I have not sayd that Nick showed 4 and 12 years medals with different diameters.. is it correct ??
I think could be better for us to really know if they are fakes or not for our future purchase.

P.S. just to explain better the pic post # 42 :

1 - Hackles have a different design
2 - body is not so separated from wings (body must be more relief)
3 - wings CAN NOT terminate on letters

I have found something

a discussion where showed these medal bars. Do you see something strange ? Do you recognize something ?
In this discussion members were talking about Austrian eagle fakes.

I say what I see.
I see a fake EKII, seems a Deschler but just seen better in a German auction. Maybe I can find another one.
Little eagles are fakes (there are other pics about).
All service medal are the same discussed here, is 't a case ? uhmm..

A pleasure.
We can all learn in this hobby

Thats the fun part about it. To get to study the medals down to the details.
I bought a USB magnification x200 for that purpose.
Then a eagle claw gets very big on a 20 inch. screen

Awesome close ups Sonny, I want one of those gadgets
