    Memel medal

    I'm not sure if this one is good.

    Is it possible to tell with these pictures?

    Medal itself has chances to be good. Anyway it looks refinished.
    Ribbon IMO is a modern copy.

    My books:


    - THE WEHRPAß & SOLDBUCH OF THE WH
    - THE SS TK RING
    - THE ITALIAN-GERMAN MEDAL
    - THE ANTI PARTISAN BADGE
    - THE AWARDS OF THE LW

    and more!

      Thanks :-)

      It does not look like the tilted "G" style. So any Idea of a maker?

        Your medal looks a S&L.

            I agree with Antonio about the Ribbon, it has some synthetic threads in it.

              I bought it, as I have a ribbon for it.

              Hard to tell if it has been refinished. it has more wear to the back though.

                  It is refinished.
                  Do you know its weight?
                  Looks a good S&L, but there's something strange on it. Base metal looks a different one from the Buntmetall (maybe alu? or are the pictures?).

                    Weight is 14-15g. It is non magnetic.

                      It is true what Comrade Antonio says, the base metal that has been uncovered in the parts where the tincture disappeared does not offer the copper color typical of the buntmetall. It can be an alloy that has a percentage of aluminum or other metal without color, but nevertheless the weight that this man tells us is the right one for this medal. They can also be the photos, but this possibility for me is less feasible. Of course Antonio is the master on this medal but it is true that the color of the worn out part does not seem top quality buntmetall.
                      also IMO, it has a color the golden yellow medal which is lighter than the one we normally find in Memel's medal, whose color is darker by throwing to tan ...
