Goldenes Militaerverdienstkreuz - Spangenstueck or Copy?

[JensF.]

Hi,

what do you think about this one? Is it a "Spangenstueck", a medal in the form of 1957 or a Goede copy?

Copy!

Too crude a casting, letters, script, etc. should be clean and crisp. your missing the cross on the top of the crown. Even bronze-gilt "wearer's copies" will have this if period-made. I can post examples if you'd like later.

That is a Goede copy. I had one once and they are absolute junk.

--They USUALLY make one-sided dealies. They make them so cheap they have to KNOW there's no way that anyone will get away with pawning them off as original.

Bill you're correct most of Goede's copies are single sided. This piece however was two sided, but again it was soooooo bad when you had it in your hand there was no way it could be confused.
