WW2 German Mine Rescue Medal

[copperpotuk]

I have been lucky enough to get hold of a Mine Rescue Medal, problem is: Where can I get a ribbon from? after weeks of searching the medal is so rare I can't anyone that sells it, even Evil Bay, Any help would be appriciated.

*** I'm also after a signed (post war) picture of Otto Gunsche if anyone has one for sale ***

Hi, Please take a look at links for a better picture, yes I agree the Medal looks a little battered and possibly re-chromed/painted?, but in my short time (compared to many) I have been collecting, I have never come across a replica of this medal, thanks again.

Well I am not liking it myself.

The ring attachment in very sloppy, The details very soft and it looks like casting bubble on the rear under the left hand wing.

The examples of these I have seen even the cheap zink ones were very well made.

Can we see a pic of the rim?
cheers

I must say i dont like it the detail look very soft

Maybe a pic of the rim indeed so we can see if it's cast or not

Niemann got a ribbon only it's a mordern one

Thanks for your time guys, if a replica (of which is looking more likely) where would you buy it from as I've never seen one for sale?

Also any link to the seller of the ribbon and any ideas on a Gunsche signature or link to whose selling one.
