Looks ok to me. Although I have not seen any fake westwall medals (yet).

These are v inexpensive to pick up, perhaps you could get one with a packet very reasonable. Looks ok.

[Mike75]

Thanks, I`ve got one with the packet.
And I have some doubt about the second one

It looks fine. With the current price of these would ut really be cost effective to fake them.

I've seen crude fakes of these on ebay.

I hope it was not my medall. By the way waht do you think about mine?

[Don D.]

It is not like the fakes I've seen. It is probably a good one.

Me too ... not on eban, but at a show in the States. But the fake was recently cast of lead (lead still shiny) that had been colored bronze with that rub-on metal color; lots of casting pits, really crummy looking ... I don't think it could have been mistaken for a real one.

These look fine to me.

Best,
Greg

I amazed (well actually surprised) people are bothering to fake these - you can pick up originals in the UK for ******163;10 to ******163;15.

and you can have them made in Pakistan for $.03

Hi Guys have to say i have seen a few fake west wall medals the ones i have seen made from lead have good detail. They are poor quality ones made from a silver type metal but they do exist.

They also reproduce the West Wall medal packet believe it or not !!!

It has a good looking designation, but packet paper and mm are true to form for the faker of the series.

Is that the Carl Poleath (sp?) packet?
