Spanish Blue Divison Medal - Original?

[Stormfighter]

Can anyone tell me if this Spanish Blue Division Medal is original. It is not plated zinc, but appears to be made of a solid medal. Is this a wartime-issue medal, a postwar Spanish version, or a complete reproduction? All comments are welcome.

Hi Barry,

IMO the medal is a fake. It is nether a German-made, wartime version nor a legitimate Spanish-made version. These should not be made of Buntmetall, should not have a spearately-applied eyelet, and should never have a backward 'N'.

On a positive note, it looks to me like your ribbon is a German-made, wartime original.

Best regards,
Tom

Thanks a lot Tom! I guess I'll take the ribbon off. I did blacklight it and it doesn't glow.

Hi Barry, I agree with Tom, this medal is not an original one.

Yes...no original.
