      That is diestruck.
      Cast pieces dont look like this.
      Also if cast you would have a casting line around the entire piece, not just on the outer arms.
      What you can see are obvious sheer marks from the cutting planchet.
      Cast pieces may have file marks but they are definately sheer marks.They are too uniform and the look is too obvious.
      Also cast pieces tend to be rounded on the edges.These edges where the sheer marks are, look very flat.The area above that looks to be bevilled ("/" ) slightly back towards the start of the gold trim.This is consistent with diestruck piece.The bevill is also why this area doesent have sheer marks,because it wouldnt of come in contact with the cutting planchet
      Reminds me of some late war kvk,s.


      Im pretty sure Detlev N wouldnt waste his time flogging off such a common award if it was a dud.
      Also i m pretty sure the man knows the difference between cast and diestruck.
