        Hi Dave looks like a nice worn original too me, if i am correct you can vaguely see the reminants of the original colour in the crevasses. Ribbon looks good too. All the best

            Hi

            I'm going to have to disagree. I personally do not like this one. It looks like one of the common fakes floating around on EBay. Did you buy this from EBay? I think the ribbon looks artificially aged, probably with tea. Here's a picture of another EBay fake.

                        I would look for a different one. Here's some pictures for comparison

                          hi kenneth, thanks for the pics and i do see what you mean,but the fake is still different from mine ,the swastika is different,and above the arch the fake has a small square type shape where as mine and the others seems more oblong, im probably wrong as i dont know anything about these, thanks again dave for your help rgds dave

                            Hi

                            HI Sscrooge,

                            Yes I know that they are not exactly the same but if you look at the fake and yours they both show a serious lack of detail and I'm not talking about the part that's messed up either. Have you tried to the ribbon with a black light? Ten bucks says it glows.

                              Hi Dave, I would send it back if I were you. I don't like the rim of the medal on either side.

                              I will draw Raff's attention to this thread for his input.

                              Cheers, Ade.
