medal of the SS allegedly FAKE? according to a militaria store

[manu1972]

Hi guys.
I have suffered a great setback when I have sent this medal that I have repeated to a militaria store to exchange it for another object and it tells me that it has arrived, but that they return it to me because it is fake according to them.
I would invite Antonio to give me his opinion and not have any doubts about the authenticity of the medal.

Very thankful,

SS MEDAL ¿ fake?

[manu1972]

Images. They say it's fake? To what extent has the person in charge of this store, well-known militaria, reason? or is it that they might not like it?
Thank you. Please opinions
Ps; When I get back I will tell you the weight etc

[manu1972]

the medal is the same in all the photos, the color changes by the light that there is in that moment.
the copy they say is a fake is the one on the left in both photos. I bought it in Butscheck militaria about 8 months ago. When I have it back in hand, I will send you new images because this needs to be clarified.

Thank you

I don't know who they are, but for sure they know almost nothing about these medals.
This is an original type II medal.
Other guys I'm sure will confirm it.

Hello Antonio, thanks for your intervention. I sent this medal to Kai Winkler and today I receive a message that he does not want it because it is a fake.

It's incredible, friend

Best regards.

It looks original to me, but possibly repainted.

Watch out so Winkler doesn't keep your medal and returns a different medal to you.

Wow, that would seriously suck if he pulled that scam.

Hi guys. I am somewhat worried about one thing that has been said here from Jc Gray and that is that the medal may be repainted. I, the truth, is that I have not noticed that of since it does not have thick paint that covers the details of the medal, but I am in doubt. Too bad I do not have the medal in hand now as to take more pictures, but is it true that this example could be painted with spray? I do not know, I think not, but I would like to have more opinions about it. The medal is monochrome, and in fact I've seen so many, but do you see it repainted?
Thanks for your opinion.

Regards

Manuel

It might be just the blurred photos that make the details look slightly softer. It is difficult to tell because it looks a different colour in each photograph. It looks quite gold-ish in some of the photos, so maybe all the finish is gone.

IMO only the photos suck. This is the real problem.

HI.
golden color? it does not have, it is chocolate color, only the places where I made the photos with a cell phone and with direct sunlight has changed the color of the medal. They are photos that vary a lot, you are right. But as you said and comparing it with the other one that I have is an original example that is not issued, new and unused.
