Re: Winterschlacht im Osten Medal.
Thanks for the article, Kenneth. Just bookmarked it
Out of interest, what exactly makes mine authentic? Are there any points in particular (i.e shape of helmet/grenade, wings or Swastika?) or is it just the overall presentation?
Sorry to ask this many questions, just wanting to learn what I can!

Re: Winterschlacht im Osten Medal.
Nice pick up Joshua!
For me, the overall look of the medal from the wear to the finish being absorbed by the zinc over time, the overall patina. A 'one looker' as they say.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....

Re: Winterschlacht im Osten Medal.
Well thanks for all the comments guys! Despite the comparatively 'low' cost of these awards, I would hate to have been stung. Comforting to have some positive opinions of it, and any more comments would be welcomed
Regards,
Joshua
