Hi
I am hopefully looking to sell this case (as I have no medal to go with it) but wanted to make sure it’s 100% genuine before listing.
Is anybody able to assist/confirm?
Thanks in advance for any help!

It's a bit tatty and not worth much but looks legit. I'd be surprised if you can sell it for anything more than a few quid but fair play if you can. I'd be more tempted to get a cross to put in it and keep it.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Is the color of the case black or dark blue? I can't really tell from the images..

Some cases are very dark in appearance, almost black.

Thanks for the replies guys. If I look at it really up close under direct light it does have a Dark blue/grey tinge to it, so possibly what you’re referring to.
RE getting a real medal, I was actually sold a fake mother’s cross in gold some years ago (when I started collecting and I was far less educated). I think it might have been the seller who is now ‘SpandauaMilitariaShop’, so Lesson learned The clearly put a fake in a genuine case to dupe the buyer and unfortunately it worked...Luckily I have more sense now, at least when it comes to collecting!
If it doesn't have much value then I might hang onto it and one day come across a genuine example, at least then it would have a proper home. Is it only the Gold example which went in this specific case?
Cheers

Hi Ralph
Thanks for your reply. I have tried to get sight of this textured part from all sorts of light & angles but I think it's a fake as it just reflects, almost like good quality acrylic.
Also these 'lines' between the words on the front of the medal I have not seen on genuine examples another reason I think its a dud. What do you think?
Cheers
Tom
