Agree with Steinar, Ostmedaille have only been found in zinc (except for the Spanish made ones, but that is a total different story).

To date, there is only evidence for zinc pieces.
There is also so in the literature.
Even as the medals were made​​, everything is Proved, suggests that there were these medals only in zinc.

I also do not know why your showing piece of non-ferrous metal intended to be ....
This is also a piece of zinc.

But that's just my opinion.

Everyone can think what he believes is right.

I have no difficulty believing you as I am new to this business. However I'm surprised as I read that Wehrmacht-Awards was a reliable website.

As far as my Ostmedaille is concerned, it may indeed be zinc as well. I haven't even received it (got stuck at customs) yet. I was simply judging by its color and how coherent it seemed to be with Wehrmacht-Awards regarding Bruntmetal : "[they] have stood the test of time better than their zinc counterparts. Surviving examples have generally preserved all the detail and usually preserved most of the finish as well.".

I'll show you right now a few different pieces, then you can compare yourself.
Definitely, all of zinc.
Some you can see even the zappon paint.
I do not know why this was posted in the other forum, but there is still no found or proven buntmettal pieces.
