Calling all polizei pundits. I recently acquired this medal from a very reliable source. After comparing to other pics, I do have a couple of questions to run by everyone.
1) Notice at the bottom of the ribbon where the outer wreath meets the swastika wreath. On other ribbons I have seen, the outer wreath merges into the swastika very smoothly and tightly. Here, the outer wreath just sort of dead-ends at the bottom.
2) On the reverse, notice that the right dot in the umlaut in "fur" is slightly higher than the left dot. I have seen this exact pattern on other medals, but some are perfectly level.
Are these known variations?
There is another thread from a few weeks ago that has other pictures of this type of medal: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ght=police+nod
Thanks,
Chuck
