    2 Luftschutz Medals for opinion

    These two open "M" types are from the same source. So far the verdict is one for and one against it being original pre 45.

      Photo of the one with MM that appears to be 44. I will post photos with a better camera when I return home.

        Hello,

        IMO the first one shown is a complete fake. A fake cross and an fake ribbon.

        The second one has an original, brooch-mounted ribbon (probably taken from a second class Luftschutz Decoration) but the cross appears to be another fake IMO.

        Best regards,
        Tom

          Have to agree cast fakes for both. Very weak details and pebbling

            Thank you. No need to take and post better photos. Also, MM IS L/13. Not a known maker for this scarce medal.

              I agree. Nasty cheap copy.

              Yes indeed. I had one briefly back in February and that was exactly this configuration. UV the stitching for the brooch ... mine was UV+ which gave the game away.

              Cheers, Ian.
