The first is one tombak (early) Afrika medal - nice item. The secund is one zinc (later) Afrika medal without bronze finnish. I think that the ribbon is a new repro.

Schmidt, i don't think its tomback. Im not saying its impossible but i have only ever come across the bronze version, which is what i have always understood to be the early ones, and the zink ones which are later war time produced. Im thinking the silverish one is a zinc. Matt

Hello Matt,

You are right, this is one bronze version. I said tombak, because I think that bronze is one type of tombak.
