I bought these medals awhile ago and I was wondering if they are original or reproductions? How can you tell the difference between real and fake ones?
Thanks

They are certainly not fake, but they are newer restrikes. The army of occupation medal is not WWII era. The crimped brooch is the dead giveaway on that. I don't know exactly when the crimped style started offhand but that type was not used until possibly the VN era. Off the top of my head, I would say they were very recently made. You can get ones like this from www.medalsofamerica.com
The middle medal is the UN
Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) 1990's - 2000.
