Strange 13 March 1938 Medal - opinions please

[ancientrelicsuk]

Hi Guys,

I would welcome opinions on this strange 13 March Medal - look at the podium - it looks to be a hybrid between an original and a long podium fake? Which is it?

Thanks for looking and for all comments, all the best, Guy

Hello,

its a podium fake.

Regards Shaver

Scrap my initial thought … the jump ring and ribbon ring look good. Very strange indeed.

Thanks Shaver and Ian, I appreciate the comments, I have never seen a Flower Wars medal that looks like this.

IMO it is an original one.
Nothing in common with the so called "long podium" fake, or Souval postwar.
The design of the Souval postwar obverse of the Flowers Wars Medals is different.

Thanks Antonio - that's really good to hear
