Belgium and Romania medals (real or fake?)

[navyben]

Hi,
I am new to posting on this forum and hope I am in the correct place. I obtained these medals from someone and we are working on a price. I can't tell if they are real or not, as they are old, but ribbons look kind of new and they don't match up with things I am seeing on ebay. I want to make the person a fair offer, but want to make sure I am being fair on honest. I beleive that the Romania anti communist medal has the wrong ribbon... But not sure of anything else.

Hello,

you might find some of your medals here;
Belgian medals
I have to rework that post asap....

I noticed that you have the Golden order medal. The medal shows the disc suspended by a metal bow that curved and the one on my medals is flat. Would that indicate a copy? or modern remake? Thanks for your feedback. (Nice pages you have)

Thank you Ben.
Not to worry about copy's; they are not copied ! Just different makers.

IS it allowed to ask values for these medals?

[navyben]

I have seen these medals going for as little as $2-3 on ebay. or as high as $20-30?
It is very confusing.
Also. The medal with the black yellow and red ribbon with the rosette. I have seen some with the rivet showing on the back that is specifically mentioned in the auction. Your thoughts on that?

I don't do values exactly for the reason you gave; to many factors depend on it!
But the figures you gave are right!
The medals withe the Belgian flag are the most common and less sought after, I generally give them for free to customers.
