whoops!

here's the pix. breathtaking, isn't it??? huh?? huh??

[McCulloh]

wow-almost a new low.
Looks like real medals though- except #2 (?)!

[stogieman]

#2

uhhh, exactly! A cheap copy of the GMVK. Not even a good "Spangen-Stuch"! What's interesting is the way the baden piece is mounted. I've seen a number of iffy bars with this (relatively) unusual mounting method. I do agree that the majority of the pieces look real, but cobbled together like this??

The ribbons all look like modern repos as well.....

[Rolf D.]

How could you tell #2 was a repro?

[JensF.]

Its a bad Göde Sammlerkopie!!!
You can see it by the strange ring. But the ribbons look original.

The same like this one here:

Jens! Right on the mark!

Yep, crappy copy by Göde. Note the nasty suspension ring as well as the absolutely wrong color (even a period bronze-gilt copy looks better than these 2 pieces of doo-doo!)
