10 Years of Independence Medal - 1928

[Argonne1918]

Here another doubt.
This commemorative medal of the 10 years of Independence 1928, these system of support of the ring. Is "wire" type, different from the "barrel" type (French). Any variant of local manufacture?

There are only two Polish 2nd Republic era versions that I am aware of. One, of course, is the official National Mint product with the familiar barrel suspension found on many pre-WW2 medals . The other is the French made version which has the characteristic “ball” suspension. Marius Delande is a known pre-WW2 maker of this medal, but there may have been other French producers also. It’s also quite likely the medal was produced in France post-WW2.

As far as the version you have pictured with the wire loop ribbon ring holder, I can’t say for sure but suspect it’s a modern copy. This type of suspension seems common to modern knock offs.
