Many Thanks

A piece with beautiful appearance, is another building block for my Africa medals collection.

@ Antonio --> I think the 2.2 is the most common type, right?

Here is a photo from my collection to round out the presentation.

Yes, 2.2 and 2.3 types cover the most part of the Lorioli production. So these are the most common to find (as quite common is the type 4 too).

Thank you! I also have this opinion.

Hi Antonio,

i think we see here a 2.3 type, correct?

Matthias

[Antonio Scapini]

Yes this is a type 2.3, a very nice medal. The Lorioli bronze alloy medals have the best quality. The worst are IMO the type 5 medals.

100% Antonio !!!

The quality of these pieces from the workshop Lorioli shows us again and again each presented piece.

Here´s a worn medal ... type 4!

Not to compare with a type 5, a complete other qualitiy level.

This is one of mine, a type 5. Just for comparison we all can see my medal has less quality and some flaws due to the die cast process made with zinc alloy.

Yes Antonio, many thanks for your example.
