May I ask opinions on these Long Service medals as I am going through my older items

Hi,

Can you post close-ups of the 18yr cross? Is it magnetic?

Kind regards
Pierce

Hello Pierce

Here is 18y as requested, thanks

The 18 and 25 dont fill me with confidence

Can I get a close up of the eagle on the 25 year award.

Can't say I like the 18 year.

Looks like the 18y have been painted yellow and blue at some point, could the soft look be a result of someone taking the paint off
Just a theory.

Thanks for posting additional photos. The detail of the eagle on the cross is extremely poor. Is it magnetic?

Maybe you could take photos of the inside of the arms of the 18yr and the 25yr crosses?

Thanks
Pierce

Thanks guys, need to recharge ion battery for camera will post more soon. Non of these medals are magnetic, unsure about paint however pics were taken under incandescent light. Have to say Macro pictures picks up more than I could see.

18 years - is a cast fake (see the arms of the cross).
25 - need good pictures.

I agree, the 18 years is a cast fake.

The 25 stands a chance but as stukapilot says better photos needed.

25 year & 12 yr

[Gebhi]

4 yr

[Peppe864]

the 25 years also looks like a cast fake, a bit better cast than the 18 years

Thanks much appreciate the help, is 4 & 12 year original?

Is it possible to get a photo of the inside edges of the arms?
