What is your thoughts about this one? I dont like the ribbon, that puts the medal in question too. I would appreciate any comments since I'm very far from an expert on these medals.

Hello Thomas,Originally posted by Tiger88 View Post
I agree with everything you say here. The ribbon is definitely bad and I can say that with certainty as I have had numerous examples of the 1936 Olympic Games Commemorative Medal which, of course, used the same ribbon. The decoration, though, is another story as I have never been fortunate enough to own one of those yet. I agree that the fake ribbon casts doubt on the decoration. I think it looks a little too thick as well. I would want one that screams "ORIGINAL", ribbon and all, and this one does not do that for me.

Thanks for your reply Tom. I agree with you as well. I think the medal looks promising, but it's still quite a lot of money to throw away on a chance.
I realise now that this thread might be more correct in the political forum.
Can some moderator pls move it. Or should I post again there?

Hello Thomas,
I suppose the medal does stand a chance of being real, but why the blurry photos? That adds even more suspicion to the piece, IMO. I have seen fakes of these where the rivets on the reverse are not even real but have been cleverly faked. And if this is from an auction, it's probably an "all sales final" thing so I wouldn't risk it either.
Best regards,
