MEMEL Medal classification "book"

[Antonio Scapini]

Hi guys, after a lot of work done in these years I'm proud to show some pages of my last "book". This time is not printed but only in digital version (PDF).

Some friends have had the book preview, and the feedback has been very positive.
In this work you will see I've identified 11 different makers of original medals and 5 of fakes.

I really hope that my research can finally make light in the field of the Memel medals.

The work is in italian, I don't know if it will be translatend in english, because I know english but not so very well to be sure to do a good work.

The conclusions are for me simple:
1) The design of the medal and the coin are almost identical to those of the Memel Steinhauer & Luck, if you compare them you will be not able to distinguish.
2) The metal used is equal to that of Memel produce from other makers, often also aging and wear are identical to those on the original medals.
3) The same is true for the other Flower war medals on which appears the same mark "OBC".

Against my theory that these are originals I tried to find something, but I have been able to find anything.

At the end of my work however I wrote if someone will find some proofs or some finds I didn't reported in my research, I'll be very happy to improve it.

Great job! You could always pay for a translation. You would definantly recoup the costs associated with the translation via the additional American and British sales of the PDF.
