40 Year Faithful Service

[John T.]

Do you think this medal is original?

Hi John T.,

Yes, it very, very likely is. At least it looks right from the pic. Although of lesser value these are faked like everything else but it seems to be a good one.

It is not unusual for these to be in brilliant condition. The case seems also to be fine.

Cheers, Frank H.

John,

Looks pretty good to me as well.

Here's a shot of mine to compare with, though it's not as pristine looking as the one you show. You can compare maker's stamps and cases pretty well, though your PICS are not as close-up. Can you tell what the white backing material is made from?

Hope it helps,
Tim

tball, I can't tell what the backing material is made from, but the maker's stamps in the box matches.

The medal feels and looks right. Thank's for the replies they were most helpfull.
