Here is my new medal, the photo's will be spread out over the next day or so, as I just got home, and am a little tired and trying to come back on daylight time after a week of graveyards. So first is the obverse. It weighs in at 36.2gms and measures out at approx as the bty to my calipers died. From the suspension loop to the bottom 60mm, from side to side 53mm. What I thought had ribbed suspension loop is actually unribbed

Nice Laurence ... you better lock the door when you leave the house from now on

I never thought I'd say this (the lover of patina I am), but I would polish this guy up a bit ... at least use some warm soapy water first (plus soft toothbrush), then see what she looks like then before going further. It looks like you have a little bit of dirt rather than patina ... I bet that treatment would let he shine nice

Congratulations my friend!! You are becoming MR. KVK!

Be careful using a toothbrush....it can remove frosting!!

Enjoy that beauty, and I'm looking forward to the next batch of photos.
