            Hi,

            I have heard/read that these were only struck in iron, and therefore should attract a magnet. Maybe others can confirm this? I'm away from my references for a while.

            On a tangent, I had a chance to acquire one of these out of an old collection that was being split up years ago - I've always kicked myself for not buying it, but a mint cased EK1 Spange sitting next to it was cheaper and had more appeal at the time!

            Regards

            Evaluate the item, not the story and not the seller's reputation!

            If you PM/contact me without the courtesy of using your first name, please don't be offended if I politely ignore you!

                Mike is right, according to what I remember from Forman's book, combatant versions were struck in bronze but none were ever awarded, non-combatant versions were struck in iron.

                  We discussed these briefly in the past, here is a little bit more info, maybe others have some more information to share?
