Ost medal

[ancientrelicsuk]

Hi Guys,

Having bought most of my collection in the pre-Internet era and being burnt more times than I can remember, I'm pretty paranoid about most medals these days. I've had this Ost Medal some time. Apart from the ribbon, is there anything else wrong with it? The 'S' on the reverse looks weird to me but looks like there is some zinc pest starting which I take to be a good sign.

Thanks for looking and for all comments,

All the best, Guy

The medal itself is a nice condition original, sadly the ribbon is a post-war replacement.

I agree =)

The medaille looks at first glance like a good OM66 / Friedrich Keller producion.
