Hi
Another few items from my inherited collection. Any ideas what they are and if they are original.The medal on the right as viewed has 16 on the ring. Sorry if I have listed this in the wrong section.
Thanks
Andy

They are WW2 German medals for bravery and merit of the Eastern Peoples Legion.

* Center, top : Ostvolk Decoration for Merit on the Eastern Front, 2nd Class in Silver.

* Center, bottom : Ostvolk Decoration for Merit on the Eastern Front, 1st Class in Silver.

* Right : Ostvolk Decoration for Bravery on the Eastern Front, 2nd Class in Bronze, with Swords.

Not much I can add that hasn't already been said other than they appear original. The silver second class with swords looks particularly nice as it appears to have most of the silvering still present. Many of these have faded over the years.

I agree that most look like nice originals, although you might post some close ups of the one on the very left with the good finish. The colour and texture of the ribbon look a bit off and the patina on the front of the medal is strange .
