Ordenspange 4 medals very rare

[gibello]

I have seen this set on a page for sale, it seems a rare composition and I think it is not original. What opinion do you have?

I would say that we are facing another job of the Austrian.

Does not look like what the Austrian faker puts out unless he has changed his construction methods.

Could be that the third place medal was a Police 8 year long service replaced with the SS Medal.

If you look closely you can see that the other 3 medals are tied down with white thread.

Agree with Wayne. Tie-downs, folds, etc, look better than his.

Do we also talk about a fake piece?

From the photo it appears to me that the medals are good.

It's just that the bar has been messed with to enhance its value.

No expert on SS medals so someone with the knowledge to confirm that it is a good one is needed.

I suppose you could call it a fake even if the medals are all original.

Looks to me like an original bar that has been messed with. I think Wayne is on the right track with a Police 8-Year Medal having been removed and replaced with an SS 4-Year Medal. Closer pictures of the SS medal would be needed to see if that medal is even real. But the other medals and ribbons look good and the construction also looks okay to me.

IMO only the backplate can be period..otherwise ribbons and medals are just put together recently.

I only have doubts with the SS medal, in my opinion the rest is ok.
