Hi all. I'm considering adding this to my collection but these are definitely not in my wheelhouse so I want some opinions before making any decisions. What do you guys think? Is this legit or a reproduction?
Thanks!

Hi Darren,
This example of the 4 year medal is known as the "Stepped Rune Fake." If you compare the wreath binder to an original Type I ( sometimes referred to as being a P&L made example) you will see a big difference in the design. This, and the fact that the suspension ring is incorrect, being that only found on the Type II is enough to condemn this dangerous fake.
FAKE.
GENUINE
THE "STEPPED RUNES" OF THE FAKE & INCORRECT SUSPENSION RING.
Regards, Ned.

Nice work Ned, that one would have caught me out for sure.
Well done Ned, another good fake (if there's such a thing as a "good" fake) outed. Leon.
