Hi Guys,
I would appreicate some thoughts on this medal and clasp.
Cheers,

The clasp...

[juoneen]

I think it looks OK to me....sometimes they have an L number on the bottom edge. I have an L/13 like that. (marked on center bottom edge) Nice details on the castle clasp. A little sloppy on the poke through on the ribbon.(if thats material from the ribbon still on the back)bar may have been added later or possibly moved , or is that a hole in the ribbon below bar to the left?

I think this one could be a good one

The medal looks fine. The bar appears to be unevenly struck. Is there a number stamped on the reverse?

Kind regads

Thanks for the input guys,

I can't see any marks on the front, edge or rear (there may be something in the centre of the rear but I would have to remove the clasp to look).

Cheers,
Rick

I have not seen this type of Prague bar before and I can´t say if this is good or not.

If you like to compair..

Then here are four Prague bars that are well known and original. These four are not the only four but most common.

re: campaign medal

I have the exact same medal and ribbon, without the bar. Mine is in a small red leather case with a gold Eagle/Swastika embossed on the front. My understanding is that these medals were awarded to soldiers who participated in the "liberation" of Czechoslovakia, correct? Any additional information on these would be greatly appreciated, I purchased mine almost 10 years ago and know little about it.

Other bars... Difficult to say if them are originals, no one made a complete study about.
Also for me the first bar is a good one, but until will surface real proofs to support this opinion, it will remains an opinion.
