Hi,

I just bought this Austria Annexation medal (Anschluss Medal), from a Brazilian dealer.

As always, i'm sharing it with you and asking for your oppinion about its originality.

Fabio, if I may just offer a suggestion...

Whether or not this piece is authentic, it would certainly have been of benefit to you if you had posted the item before purchasing it. Worth keeping in mind for the future anyway.

Regards,

Carl

Hi,
Thanks for all the opinions.
I had it on hold, then (by the time i post it here).
I just payed after confirming it was original. Nowadays, i'm a regular customer from this seller.
I also posted these pictures on other forums and all confirmed its originality.
I know that is in a excelent condition, and that may be a reason for some think it is not real.
I also tend to think that way when i see a "too good to be true" item.
I've been cautious when i buy item for my collection (because i'm learning everyday a little, but i'm still "new" on this - only 3 years of collecting).
What i do is:
I usually contact the seller/dealer and ask him if i could use the pictures available for others apreciation, before i complete the payment. If the seller do not have anything to hide, he always agree. When a seller complains on that procedure....well, maybe its a "Red Flag"!!!!
After all, why should he complain on using pictures of a item that soon (after payment) will not be on his collection, anymore???

Always learning something from you, guys.
Best regards,

Fábio
