    Reproduction Italy Star Medal?

    Hello gents,

    I am completely new in the field of British awards and so I need your help with this medal.

    My guts say its a fake. Touching the ribbon at least does not feel like the German ones. I tried to read about identifying British medals and from it the E in "THE" is not like it should be (the middle line is the same length) and the four beads in the middle of the crown is not that good. But generally the details are crisp and the pebbling looks okay I think.

    Anyway I got it for like less than 1.5 euros so even if it's a fake it's not such a big deal

    Thank you for your answers!

      Yes it's a fake. Apart from anything else the colour is all wrong. Very common medals and loads of genuine ones on ebay.

        There seem to be a lot of these new star fakes about, I've seen some being sold for more than the price of a genuine one! For the record none of these stars were issued with this fake antique laquer look. Cheers Paul

          I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would fake most of the WW2 Stars, almost all are cheap & plentiful, the only real exception being the ACE Star.

          Here are some genuine ones,
