    Is this a variant of the 4 year WH DA or a fake??? Some help please

    Hi Guys,

    I picked up a medal bar with a 4 year Wehrmacht Longservice medal on it. I have several medal bars with Wehrmacht Longservice awards on it (marked R) and those all look different from the one I got now (marked N). What is different about this new one (marked N)?:

    - the eagles feet/talons are placed differently (not horizontal);
    - the relief on both front (eagle) and back (4 plus wreath) are less pronounced/thick
    - the letters are different (look for example at the second h in the word Wehrmacht and the difference in how this letter is placed vis a vis the wing of the eagle)

    Does anyone know if this one marked N is a variant of just a plain fake? All help appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Willem

    Willem,

    Is the new one magnetic?

    Please post photos of the whole medal bar back and front.

    Kind regards
    Pierce

        Both 4 year DA's (N and R) are magnetic.

          Watching carefully the details I´d say it´s a good one.

            I think it's a good one.

            Just a different maker.

                    No maker marks on both rings.

                        Well, that is a good thing...I have seen some with Souval's "L/58" mark that I felt were post war...I like the posted examples,

                          Thanks for the replies so far. Much appreciated. I am however still a little bit anxious about this DA variant. Some more opinions are therefore appreciated. Cheers, Willem
