My first words on seeing the medal, ‘oh nice’.

[inimicus]

thanks a bunch, fellas -- too bad it's not a rare maker, but yeah condition quite good!
is this an early one or just stored right?

[Sveimhugi]

Yes, I agree, a OM88 in fair condition.

The condition can vary because of many things, quality of the material used, of the tools used, storage ect ect..

Its always a little hard to say, but the production span of the Ostmedaille was not that long.

I looks like it has a litte "Weissrost" on the reverse, could just be glare on the pic, but if not, should be treated

All the best.

[Sveimhugi]

cheers, tom - tho a bit of a horror story:

OM came attached to a KvK, the ribbons of both punched thru with the 4 prongs of an equally nice 2nd class 1939 'spange! (L/11 deumer) which the moron then 'wrapped' around the 4 layers of ribbon -- thus bending the aforesaid 'spange.....

Nice-looking East Medal.

Best regards,
Tom
