Opinions please on this 18 year medal

[usmedalman]

I would appreciate opinions on this medal. Most I have seen have a thicker suspension, but I just don't know enough to tell if this is real or post war. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

The photos are not good enough to be certain but it looks like a Souval copy ... is it magnetic ?

Good photos of the eagle, number 18 and the pebbling are essential.

Cheers, Ian.

The eagle appears to lack detail. Photos of the insides of the arms would be useful also.
