18 yrs service medal question

[Klaus Fisher]

Hello everyone,

I picked up this 18 year service badge in a pile of other medals for really cheap. However, I do not know its authenticity. The ribbon looks like an Austrian style but it is in red instead of blue?? I have to admit, I'm more into imperial items myself so sorry for my ignorance. Any thoughts?

Added more pictures!

Wrong ribbon of course, but the medal has an extra ring
added - normally only one ring was attached to the
medal itself - it's possibly been reworked.

This one also has very poor details.

A repro IMO.........

Think you need to provide close ups of the eagle and the medsl itself for the more knowledgeable to be able to judge

One look at the back convinced me it is bad, but wait
and see what a few others have to say.........

All the ones I have come across are magnetic.

I dont like it either. Detail is poor, where is the original suspension ring? Not one I would have.

Here is my example to compare

Hi Klaus,
Thank you for posting, I can only agree with the others, a fake.

Yep, that's what I'm seeing. Thanks for the help!
