Opinion on west wall please

[PaulE]

Could you be so kind as to give your opinion on this west wall medal please.
I have recently received it off estand, I think the medal is ok, but having checked the ribbon I found it to be a reproduction (failed the blacklight test, also it measures 32mm instead of 26mm)
Also could anybody help me out with finding a correct ribbon if possible.
Regards Paul

Hi Paul nice original Zinc example

[PaulE]

Ok a big Thank you to everyone who replyed.
I did try to find information on this medal before bringing it to this forum, but being new to the medal game I was not too sure what I was looking for, and for that reason I am posting some pictures of the ribbon hoping it will help somebody out at spotting a fake west wall ribbon. see it shine under blacklight.
