anyone know if it is real?

[Adrian Stevenson]

It appears to be cast, so I would pass on it.

Cheers, Ade.

[carlarganda]

ok, what do you mean on cast? you mean like it was poured in a mould?

[Adrian Stevenson]

Yes, that is correct.

It should be die struck and well detailed with a smooth reverse.

Cheers, Ade.

[carlarganda]

thats true, what about if it is pre ww2? cause this person is also selling another one, but says its pre-war

[Adrian Stevenson]

No difference in my opinion. I would not buy it.

Cheers, Ade.
