Cheers, Ian.

Thank you. What about the flaw on the rim on the left side? It is not a full circle, it is missing a part.

Hello,

IMO your medal is an original by Deschler, although the ribbon is indeed a modern replacement.

I have observed the flaw you mention on some of the Deschler-made pieces. As far as I'm concerned, that is just one more sign that your medal is a good one.

Please check the following thread, post #14 on page #1 and post #52 on page #4.
