gut feeling is a fake,look at the eagles heads they are all different.

Honestly I tend towards the originality of the piece, comparing it with the original (from e-medals), I can not see the differences you mention harryamb2, approaches thing, I guess... case is ok, and I think that we agree with that

Hello and welcome to the forum!

My understsanding is that e-medals does not always sell originals. Do you have an original to compare?

Thanks for the welcome, for me and for the years I've been a customer, I think that E-medals is a good dealer, No, I have not the award in my collection, I made my judgment based only on the textbook and pictures of snoman ... maybe if snoman could send more photos and information, any mark on the ring?, for example ... hopefully more reviews about ...

Regards,

I did not say that e-medals is not a good dealer, l merely stated that it is my understanding that they do not always sell originals.

not, of course, I understood well, in fact, do not think there any dealer that sells 100% original ... No hard feelings...

Hence my reluctance to use their sale photos for reference.

Shouldn't these be hallmarked 900 on the ring as they were silver weren't they?

Besides that, the 'enamel' (if indeed that's what it is and not paint) in the wreaths is poorly applied and has covered parts of the polished swastikas (which also appear distorted in places) and has taken on a yellowish hue. Surely this would not be allowed to occur if jewellers glass enamel were used as per originals?
