Austrian Annexation Medal

I have come across a nice Austrian Annexation Medal, but wanted to see what everyone thought of the color. I appreciate all opinions and thank you in advance for looking at the medal.

The reverse shows the true color much better as the flash caused the obverse to look much brighter/lighter in color.

Again, thanks for any opinions.

Hard to tell from the front but the reverse looks ok.

I don't see any problem.

I'd need to see better pics of the faces because from the ones posted it looks loke another "mask" fake.

Looks good to me..

All the best ..

Hi

I 2nd that mask fakes can be seen from a mile away. These are not. Time period.

I think a better pic will reveal the truth.

Still hoping for better pics to be sure on this one. Funny that the reverse pic was nice and clear though....

I'm assuming this is the same medal he has for sale here: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=395227

Don,

I became all to familiar with the "mask" fakes. I had a czech annexation medal with a prague castle bar, both of which were fakes that I posted here for discussion. I am very grateful to everyone for showing us what a masked fake looks like and what a good prague castle bar looks like. I can assure you that the austrian medal and the other czech medal both are definitely not the masked fakes!

Unfortunately I also have found out about fake buckles from the moderators here. I don't like it when I find out I have purchased something fake and I will not sell it as an original here. Anything fake that I have will go into the bazaar section!!!

Thanks to everyone for the insight and help!
