[Bavarian]

Hello
I am on the taste of medals yet and picked this (Victory over germany) Medal up
It seem in good conditon and very decorative
Is it a original one or a reproduction

It's a very poor reproduction, in my opinion; suspension I have never seen before, the ring on the top of the medal, rounded on one side, flat on the reverse, the cast and color of the medal are all wrong. Consider there were almost 15 million of these medals issued, a genuine example should be easy to obtain and relatively inexpensive. Please note there were many variations of the medal as well as suspensions.

Wonder me really hard
As you said this were not uncommon or something
This medal was given out over 15 Million Times and who want to fake this
On militariaportals this cost not more than 25€
Ive bought it for 5€ on the fleemarked

This medal is authentic and made in Czechoslovakia, we can see clearly the "Zahradnik" factory mark on the suspension which is typical
Czech productions .

Thank you, Dom, I was not aware of Czechoslovakian variations. I stand corrected.
