Memel medal - fake or genuine?

[ancientrelicsuk]

Hi Guys,

I would really appreciate views on the Memel Medal below. I sold it some years ago thinking it was good, but the buyer returned it saying it was a fake. I am kinda hoping he was wrong, so I would be grateful for opinions.

Thanks for looking and for any comments,

Best regards, Guy

It looks like a good straight G Type 7.

Have a look at Antony's Memel guide at the top of this section.

Thanks, Wayne, I looked at Antonio's excellent guide but am still not sure. It does n't seem to be made of Tombak or bronze. I am wondering if it could be zinc.

Many thanks Antonio and Wayne for commenting - it made my day to hear it was a good one!
