Re: Anschluss Medaille
Hi
I have never owned one of these so I dont really have anything to compare it to, on first impression the detailing doesn't look to great to me especially the eagle, thats just my first impression opinion though, I would wait for more opinions ok !

Re: Anschluss Medaille
These medals were made of a tombac/bronze alloy(hence the 'gold' under the plating). This is then silver or silver alloy plated(so called German silver), and that causes the dark oxidation, or tarnish that you mention. Nice award.
