hello,
it is a bad copy.
on the backside you see the pin ......
on the front the 1939 and the "HK"

No original

Backside could be from a 57 EK I, but the front side looks like a fake.

Thanks for your comments and expertise. The backside is nearly loose from the frontside, and indeed it has a different patina. Can anyone else justify this? I got the medal for free. And, a ww1 Ek1 57 model, were these issued from 1957 and onwards for the veterans? I'm not in the medal thing.
Thanks in advance.

The newly formed 'red' rust should always send up a red flag. An older rust shows as a flat brown/dark tan...
