Hi all. Hoping to get your thoughts on this 8 year medal. The photo is the only one I can get I'm afraid. Can anyone tell me oif the polizei medals have been reproduced at any time? Thanks in advance.

The pics are not too great but from what i can see, i like it.
As Tobias says these pics are not great. To me they are in no way good enough for anything other than a very tentative "maybe". I have a couple of these in my collection which is the only reason I would say "maybe". I certainly would not commit to a purchase on these images alone and if you can't get better images (will the seller not provide?) I would not take a chance.
This is not the most rare TR medal and there are plenty on dealers sites with really good images.
As for whether these have been faked all I would say is that every TR award I can think of has been faked to varying degree of quality even wound badges. Unless you really, I mean really trust the seller (like he is your dad or something) I would leave it alone. These days there is no excuse for a seller not providing high quality images and the absence of such is an immediate red flag.
It may well be a good medal but as Dirty Harry said "Do ya feel lucky?"

It looks legit but these are far from rare, i'd get one in better condition.
You could have a look at this one;

PS You will need to register and login to view it but this is a very good site so no worries there at all.
