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
