    Default Request for help about Combat Merit Medal

    I recently acquired this medal for $50, at that time it looked ok to me.

    However, I am starting to have a few doubts about this particular medal. It looks like a Type 1, Variation 3 medal. I'm just concerned about the soldering of the ring. It seemed to have spilled slightly onto the reverse of the medal.

    Could it actually might had been a post war variation with the observe polished to hide the saber hilt curve and, a random stamped serial number on it?

    I have attached two photos from the seller and two from me. I would appreciate any help to see if it's indeed a Type 1, Variation 3 or a modified post war unumbered variation. Thanks

    Nothing wrong here imo.

    I second what Marcel said- all looks good imo. Stamp style seems perfectly fine to me, I don’t see any sign of tampering.

    Thank you guys, I'm relieved then. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

    Nothing wrong with this piece. Due to the production method you'll find that no two pieces are exactly identical: the amount of solder can vary somewhat, some eyelets are a bit off-center, etc.

    Thanks Auke, for helping to check the medal out. I definitely agree, no two pieces are the same.
