Picked this up at a show this weekend for a good deal, and wanted to share it here.
The medal has some odd things going on with it, but I took a flyer on it because of the price. Do you think the star or clasp are original? The patina on the star is unlike any others I have, seeming to be very weathered/corroded on the top surfaces but still relatively clean/shiny in the nooks and crannies. The bar has oxidation on the edges as well, although the front face has none. The join in the suspension ring is very rough and heavily oxidized also.
Happy to have it in the collection either way, even if just as a talking point about the Air Crew Europe star (which I hope one day to add), but I wanted to take the learning opportunity and get other people's thoughts as well.
Thanks in advance!
