Hey Han's,

$17 that's 9 pounds or so wow , I agree with Ade this is not the fake and it looks good.

Do you think the ribbon is genuine though ? I can't tell, but it's in far better condition to the overall medal perhaps ?

Still no matter $17 !!!! You did very well, my mailman brought bills to pay this morning

Dunno,

Don't we always have die flaws on the rim at the 9 o'clock and 11 o'clock position?

Mind you, 9/10 times I'm wrong and that's why I'm a member of this forum so that we can all learn ...

At the price paid though, it does seem a bargain, well done.

Regards ...

And a better close-up on the ribbon, it doesn´t glow under Black light and it looks good IMHO.

Hi Hans medal looks fine to me, ribbon looks good also . What a bargin. Is that a MM or just a flaw hard to make out?Especially with my eyes. To my knowledge there are two different types of these heavy, and light. Cant remember which ones had the die flaws that Hagwalther mentioned, but they are around. All the best.

Hi mrg,
thanks for your reply
It´s a makermark alright, 60, and the medal is the heavy type.
Here is another pic of the mm.

[mrg]

That sounds fine 60 to my knowledge was the heavy type,sometimes with my eyes i would miss a man on a galloping horse ride by.These are hard to come by with mm and at 17 dollars All the best.
