I cant get my head round the difference between fakes and originals of this complex award but I am still going to say 'Congrats Roger' !

Thanks, Nick. I'm not yet 100% convinced of the originality, but they come up so rarely I jumped on this one. We shall see.

sorry roger its a copy,the m gives it away.

The arched "M"s and the low 9 are the giveaways that I see here. I agree with Harry that this is a copy...There's a great thread on this topic...
cheers, Glenn

Thanks, guys. After I got it I had that old feeling . . . This one will be going back, unless I decide to bite the bullet and keep it out of circulation. I did a search and found the thread you mentioned, Glenn. What's that saying about a fool and his money . . .

If you try a search there is a good thread on here which highlights the things to look for.

Bad luck Roger Send it back mate.

I have always wanted to add a Memel to my collection but they are so heavily faked due to the small numbers awarded I havent had the confidence to buy one despite studying them on forums etc.
