18 Year Medal Comparison

[xmember]

I had posted on an earlier thread a 18 year medal that Nigel says is a Deumer product. I received another 18 year medal from Karsten and what a difference to the Deumer. So, I'm guessing this is a ST&l. Take a look at the two. I don't have any software that would point out the differences. I'm hoping Nigel can do that. Size is a determining factor between the two and some other subtle differences.

What do you think????

Hi Rudy!!
Yes, Deumer for one, and S&L for your new arrival!!
Unlike the 4 & 12 year medals which are very similar from both makers, the 18 & 25 year medals are very different!
Nothing really matches, but the eagles are probably the first thing you notice, very different birds!!

Very interesting medals, Rudy.
On the pictures i can see that the differences are more distinct on these 18 years then the 4 years as Nigel says.

Just to be sure: (on Rudy's first 2 pictures) looking at the finish and the polished 18 i would think the right one is the Deumer one. Am i correct?

Great info, guys. Thank you!

Best regards
