Sorry but there's no gold present on the Ost. It does look like rust Nick. Even the early buntmetal variants don't have that colour. Strange. Nick, look at the suspension ring. Does it look a little larger than normal to you? Stewy
Hi Stewy, it looks the usual fat type of jump ring seen on these awards to me. We need better pics for sure

Tampered with, to make it more valuable? Even though it doesn't exist.

Re: My last 2 addition
Just tried to clean it with some nitro solvent, no results, it is plated.
Still it is only 45 euros so no big deal if exist or not, I was told it was the spanish version and I took my chance!

Re: My last 2 addition
It looks like a paint job to me to.
Now there,s a new one "the Osten Medal in gold"
The sword on the reverse seems a little 'fat" towards the tip or is that just me.

Never try & clean medals/awards. If they are real the damage is irrepairable. On zinc awards & nickle silver ones it removes years of patina,at the very least. Stewy

IMO,the eagle appears to be wearing a helmet too. It may be just the pics,but i'm sceptical. Stewy
