Hi
These are all from a collection I recently inherited. Can I assume these are all OK or have these been copied as well. Can someone please let me know the correct name for this medal.
Thanks again

Hi,

The correct name for this award is the Ostmedaille. Also known as the Russian Front Medal.

See here for more info: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/camp...intermedal.htm

You've got a nice selection there.

As to their individual authenticity, I'll leave that to the experts in the forum. Closer individual scans may be helpful.

As far as i'm aware, these have been faked, but the exact way to tell? I'm not yet certain.

Hope this helps,

Mark.
