Sveimhugi,

Thanks for the input. The person mentioned something about the helmet. I can't remember much since it was in May.

Thanks for the input!

Viracocha:


Your 'Ostmedaille' is an original & works out to being
an unmarked "KLein & Quenzer".

Refer your 'reverse' to the one I've posted here below.

The lower rim on the obverse looks like there's a casting flaw ... that's what they said.

It could be zinc pest (corrosion) as there is some directly below it.
