Simple question, real or fake (selling for 35 euros)! Just learning about these

Very fake I'm afraid. You don't find these for €35!

Hi Jan, it's difficult to tell by these small photos alone. I can say that the lettering looks sloppy to me, so I would doubt authenticity. This appears to be a full size medal which is selling in the $400 to $600 USD range right now. Minimum $400 medal for $50. Pretty good gauge to go by I'd say.

Thanks for the input its nice to discuss not so valuable or personal pieces once in a while. Just to learn, of course the 35 euros is a joke but Im curious as into the faking of these. In my youth I spent soo much money on fakes its teriible.. Keep posting


Cheers Jan

yeah Adrian... the little shop in estonia sold some real good stuff together with this one so it´s why I asked (didn´t buy)

Terrible fake ! At least most of these medals fakes look ok at first glance, but not this one!

Agreed, very faint stippling and the lettering is not sharp, a cast copy i'd say.
