Medal for the capture of berlin - orginal?

[Idkanything]

Hello,

I was wondering if this is a original medal?
Since I know nothing about these I wanted a opinion from someone who is more experienced with them.

Thank you for your help,
John

Hello, John,

The medal shown by you is a Variant 2. This variant was manufactured in 1946 and handed out some time after the first version, probably in 1946-1948. The suspension should be solid and made of heavy metal. Your piece has a suspension type 5, variant 3 that was made from the 1960s until 1991.

I wish you a great weekend.
