I think they are the same ones, discussed in the threads a while ago, fake ribbon, original medal, and mispelled packet, either mistake during war or post war copy, you can buy bundles of these on manions 15 for 200.00.

Mike,
It's not so much that the medals them selves that are repros, but look out for repro ribbons and paper envelopes, especially when it's a Zink West Wall Medal with mint paper and ribbon.
This one doesn't look that bad but have the seller send more detailed pictures of the medal and back side of the envelope. I believe that the makers name on the backside, if a repro, will be misspelled. If you purchase make sure you hit the ribbon with a UV light to see if it glows.
I hope the panel of experts will weigh in on this also to aid you along with this.
