1936 Olympic Medal

[Medalcollector]

Hello all,

I’m also looking at buying this 1936 Olympic medal. I’d very much appreciate opinions as to the authenticity of this.

I’m not sure if this is the correct sub-forum for this. If it’s not, please let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I am not a fan of the text on the back. There are some examples where the "E" is different and uneven on original pieces. The text on this particular one looks very even, and the pin is missing as well.

Personally, I would pass.

If you use the search engine on the upper right where it says ADVANCED SEACRH and the small magnifying glass and you type 1936 OLYMPIC MEDAL you will get a lot of results and from there you can search and see some of the variations in the TEXT as well as the shapes of the Eagles and other details. Something is throwing me off about the shape of the Eagle and the body, in addition to the "E" that I previously mentioned.

Here is a nice original for comparison. Look at the text and the size of the "E" in the word "VERDIENSTVOLLE (The last letter E)..
