    Westwall medal real or fake?

    Hello everybody,
    I bought this medal yesterday.
    The old owner of this medal told me that it is original
    but if you place the ribbon under uv-light it glows.
    Normally you can’t see that and now I want to know if it is real or not.
    Can you please give me your opinion about the ribbon and the medal.




    Thanks,
    Rega

    The medal looks like a good zinker. The ribbon is probably a replacement.

      Hello Rega,

      I agree with Don. A real zinc medal with a modern replacement ribbon.

      Best regards,

        Hello there are many TR items that glow .That are still original items.This may or may not be one of them.The only things I use a black light for are armbands,banners ,and flags.But they have even found a way around that now.Best regards.

          It appears that there are alot of West Wall medals with "glowing" ribbons, I'm not totally convinced that all these are replacement ribbons.

            I have seen many Westwall ribbons that glow (own one myself).

            I would say that you have an original medal with a replacement ribbon (which seems to be fairly common).

              Hello,
              Sorry for my late response
              Thanks for al the opinions.
              Now, my conclusion is that the medal is real and the ribbon is probably a fake

              Best regards
