East Front Medal Makers Mark '58' for Artur Jaekel - real or fake?

[stdub]

Thanks for you opinons!

@Hans

I had the same problems with them as you, that's why i showed them here.

Here is a photo of all 10 Medals ... the first 7 ones are makers marked (same as the single one I showed first).

What I also don't like is the strange finish of each medal (specially of the helmet).

Best regards,

Joerg

Very interesting, good that this was brought to light.

I have checked a lot of medals and references now and I think you are right Hans and also of course Joerg.

The ridge is a bad sign, haven´t found it on any known originals.

Hello Joerg,

would it be possible to have a hands on inspection of one or more of these?

[stdub]

Bought them without getting good photos and without knowing that all are with same makers mark, otherwise I would have passed on them.

I was only told that 7 of them were with makers mark and all would be in good condition. Price was okay (if they were original), so I took them.

Now I have to try to give them back to get my money returned.

So I can not hold them for inspection.

I'm sure the seller did not try to fool me - IMO he didn't know that they are not good.

Best regards,

Joerg

@ Hans

Seller takes them back! Thanks again for you help!

@Kenneth

Best regards,
