Gents,

Please let me know what do you think about this example.

Thanks a lot.

Definitely not an awarded piece. The details are so horrible that I find it hard to even consider it a period made piece for wear on medal bar.

I agree. The jumpring is way too thin for being an awarded piece.

Thanks for the comments. The ring is very similar to the post WW2 made St&L awards, some of the imperial / foreign medals they made have the same style.

Can this be a post war made example or is this a copy?

I have a similar one, very difficult to determine when these were struck.

The lettering is ugly and doesn't look die stamped to me.

Looks cast in my eyes.

Here's an example of an award piece to compare with. Compare e.g. the jump-ring, there's a huge difference in thickness.

Yours is an awarded piece. The jump ring on the thread starter would be ok for a wearer's copy. But the details are soft so I too think it is a cast copy.
