Vollmost medal bar?

[VonPeter]

Found this online and it reminds me of the work of the austrian faker. Opinions?

What are the hallmarks of this faker? I'm familiar with his ribbon bars but not medalbars.

I think its pretty much everything. Backing cloth, ribbon folding, stitching, thread, pin and catch...

But I thought he only did third reich and 57´s..?

Thank you Peter.

I have to say that this bar looks pretty good to me. If this is put-together, it's a bit scary. Guess I'll be posting any bar purchases here first...

Obviously I am not a bar expert, so hopefully Don or someone else will add a comment.

I posted the pics in the wehrmacht awards forum as well, I remembered that there are some people there who are very familiar with medal bars from the austrian faker. I think that thread will get more answers.

He has included Imperial awards on bars before. The round wire catch and the backing cloth are the biggest give aways on the reverse.
I'd bet the Iron Crown is a fake as well.
