Would like to hear your opinions regarding these medals. Never had a chance to inspect them in my hands before.

they all appear to be genuine- nice collection, never seen 3 together before! -
Wow, very interesting.
I have no experience with these medals (other than being aware of them), and therefore am unable to offer an opinion as to their "originality".
That being said, I would think that the materials they are made of as well as accurate weights and measurements would be of great interest to the community.

Three very nice original awards. I have seen a similar set before but am unsure whether or not they are the same ones.
I have read somewhere that a couple of hundred examples were produced. None were awarded and the ribbons have almost certainly been added in recent years although they are the correct versions.
I have on file the specifications for producing this medal.
Here is my own example. I haven't bothered to purchase a ribbon as IMO none of them had a ribbon in the first place.

Hi Thomas,
Because the war didn't end in 1940. They then produced a prototype for 1941 but the war didn't end then either.
Pesky Allies!
