The medal looks fine and that website is very reputable. I don't think you have anything to worry about but please post your pictures when it arrives to get more opinions.

Nobody has idea ? Original ?

Not a medal that I'm familiar with. But judging from the fine details of the strike it looks good. Also the ribbon is of the correct weave.

Here is a photo example of a repro. Photo quality is poor, but you can see that it is not as detailed...

Also hear are a couple of links. One is from Time Travelers which from what I have been told is a good dealer.

Yes thank! but I must be sure of his originality , This medal costs a lot

From what I understand, this example is not an original.
If you compare the letter E in the text, the middle horizontal line on originals is longer than the upper or lower line.
This can be seen on both of the examples that Michael has posted links to.
I am confident that if you direct Paul's attention to this thread, or the one on WAF, he will do the right thing.

Hello Pierre, I'm sorry I did not mean to mislead you about the originality. The medal looks good in every aspect but I was not aware of this issue with the letter "E" I'm sure you can return it without any problem. Here is my example for comparison.
