    Hi Sever,

    I'm responding to your post since you have helped me in the past and no one else has posted so far. I have been fortunate to have handled an authentic version of this medal in Croatia many years ago. All I can say I'm not sure if this particular one is authentic due to sloppy cast marks around the crown attachment as I remember the medal almost white with honest wear marks without this problem. The medal shows some even darkness to it which indicates some intention to deceive. This is my humble opinion but I am not an authority on the these either.

    Don't get me wrong either. I think they made late war cast versions as well in various types of metals. In which case yours may be original.

    Thank you very much for your replies!!! I was unsure about the medal so that's the reason I posted it here. I payed a low price for it so if it is a modern repro it is not a tragedy.
    All the best regards from Romania
