Looks ok to me. I think there is a 1957 version but I believe the suspension piece is different.....?

Hi TerryG,

there is no 1957 version of the Ostvolk medals.

Original or copy/fake, but not a 1957 version.

Hi Does not look right to me quite alot of pitting to the reverse, metal has a strange look it, (is that down to the pictures?) maybe a side shot showing the rim may help. All the best

I wonder if there is laquer or something covering it? I agree. The color seems off for a zinc medal. Except near the tips on the reverse which looks like it should.

I'd say it's OK!

I think the medal is fine. The strange coloring might just be what remains of the bronze color wash.

Best regards,
Tom

Could be Tom, that nasty Zinc does some weird things with finish over years.

I like it to, nice details and colour isn't that strange for 65 years old zinc..
