Dear God, thats a true crime

[streptile]

I guess I'm missing something. What's the crime? The tape?

This looks like a nice set to me. Great size-adjustable Halsband with the three snaps: 5 possible sizes!

[ring]

Yes, the tape, and NAILS :P

[juoneen]

What nails ...arent those just snaps??

[Ludwig]

Just remove them! Not as bad as those badges in that old booklet by Jack Pia; nails right through CCCs – all grades!

The core looks to be repainted though to me....

Les,

The core paint is original IMO. The "lazy 2" are a late war RK and the core paint had a rough non-gloss texture. The paint was also prone to chipping as is the one shown.

I must admit, not one of the best presentations of a medal I've ever seen ....

Robert, is this yours?

[Steinar]

Can you post better pictures?
