Know next to nothing about these medals but from what I see I do not like it.

The construction is really shoddy. Not what I would expect to see from a first class award.

I'll use the old maybe it's a late war creation.

Looks cast.

Here's the bar it is attached too.

Consensus on the other forum is that it is a good zinc one.

[Antonio Scapini]

The whole bar is orignal, and the Luftschutz 1 stufe medal is an original in zinc.

[Woolgar]

Wow! what a very rare bar !!

I can't believe the crap construction of that medal looking at the quality of the zinc 2nd Class it makes no sense to me ?

These decorations are not my area....but looking at the rim of the medal I would have said it was a cast fake? What other forum was it discussed on? Just curious what was said, and maybe I could learn something.

The medal bar itself is certainly good.


Kind regards
