West Wall Medal

[Luis22]

Hello Guys,
Got this one at an auction opinions welcome
Thanks

The ribbon appears to be a modern copy looking at the left edge and the text is a facsimile of the text on the award packet which makes me suspicious.

Have you blacklighted the ribbon and box lining ?

Hello,

Sorry, but the case is a fake too.

Best regards,

I thought it was a good one I do have two other West Wall medals authenticated and this one looks and feels just like the original ones..no damaged any ways I only pay $30..I probably stick it to a diorama in the future

I think the medal itself is original ... and probably worth $30. The case and ribbon ... well, at that price ?

And the one that sold on eMedals is a fake too. It is a bit different but still a fake.
