25 years service gold

[gibello]

For the details of the coin I think it is original, but I ask your opinion and that is kind of medal.
thanks

I think the cross is probably a good one.

The wreath and the eagle device I'm not crazy about.

Someone trying to make a 25 yr. into a 40 yr.

Is the cross magnetic?

The cross looks good to me also but the eagle to totally wrong.
I do not like the ribbon either which makes me think that this medal has been "improved" whether the oakleaf device be real or not.

Kind regards

Is the wreath hollow?

It should be non magnetic.

The seller requests 120EUR. is a good price?
Thank you very much everyone for the answers

One Hundred & Twenty Euros is a good price.

Like Pierce and I have said the ribbon and devices are suspect.

At that price I would buy it because I believe the cross is a good one.

They sell for a lot more than that for just the cross by itself.

Gibello,

This is a good price but are you interested in finding out if what you are buying is real?
Wayne has posed some excellent questions to help you ascertain if the device/cross is real or fake.
I would consider him to be of great knowledge on these items and his questions important ones.

What I am saying is you should be fully aware of what you are buying before you lay down your money regardless.
This could either be a very cheap rare item or an expensive fake.

Kind regards
Pierce

First thank you all, my question about the price I looking only medal itself, not the trappings of 40 years, because after his comments do not hold much hope, if the medal itself, is worth it for that price, for me it's a good idea, and once you have in hand, facilitates their best pictures. a good idea, and once you have in hand, facilitates their best pictures.

Better pictures would help. The ones posted are quite large.

I still think the cross itself is a one good.

Make sure the seller will let you return it if I'm wrong in my assessment.

[gibello]

I received the medal and I was able to make new pictures.
I think like you that the coin is good but the rest I have doubts

The stippling looks too coarse imo

Looking online I saw this that also has a rather coarse stippling may be the camera's zoom

Are also thicker because of the dirt that makes it stand out more if you look at those who are clean hardly appreciate.

Stickgrenade thank you very much, I was scared, that something really dirty and that dirt also highlights more things.
