Learn from our mistakes. Thanks for your help
hey I got burned before too, because I'm a newb & didn't know what to look for, that is why I am glad I found this place these guys have taught me a lot & I'm still learning, so I read everything they say & really look at what they point out. I can't thank the people on here enough, they are very helpful & honest.

A fake yes but not a Floch.
Hi Adrian
I have just been looking at the Floch article and it mentions and highlights overlapping threads on the inner corners. The EK on this thread appears to have exactly the same. Is this a common fakers trait?
Cheers

Nice one Fabri
Even the lettering doesnt look right compared to the comparison pics, a certain fake!
Here is a close shot of the eagle on mine

Nick, thank you.
But have you seen that the 2 eagles in your pic are not the identical ?

I was just going to mention that. The silver medal looks to be a fake. Unless Nick used them to show the difference between the two? Note the "t" at end of "wehrmacht", also a quick give away.

Sorry guys, just got home and checked. I was thinking of a completely different type of fake. The cross John posted is a Floch.
I edited my original post to avoid confusion..........mainly mine!

Yes there are many differences with the golden medal.
I have maken a little research because it 's not my field and sometimes memory don't support me well but all good ones I have found are exactly like the golden just mentioned.
In the same time I don't like some details of the silver medal that I remember as a fake.
I 'm very sorry for these bad news..

Re: medals- orginal?
There are different eagles on the original long service medals. It depends of the maker.
Here is mine. I will post some better pictures of the eagles later.
