Another Afrikamedal

[mexico81]

Hello!

This Africamedal with triangle ribbon reached me today directly from Austria. This I like to hear your opinion.
Clearly, it is probably not a piece before 45. But Antonios book there is also none of it occurring fakes. The details of the coin are also fine.
In my opinion, such medals worn by Austrian veterans.
I'm looking forward to your opinion.

There are lumps and bumps there that make me believe this is a casting

Sorry.

Hello Björn,

Unfortunately a pure fake

IMO the medal itself is an original Souval piece that was denazified. All the rest no, but the medal is good.

Hi Björn,

i have the same opinion us Antonio. The medal is a genuine Souval piece, denazified.

Thank you for your opinions. In comparison with my other pieces, I think it is also about a piece of Souval.
Thank you again!

Antonio thanks.
I didn't know that such terrible example can be original

You are welcome!
We all are here to learn day by day, this is the forum purpose.

Here I post another Souval, with the same silver finish. As you can see they are perfectly matching.
