I have just won this ad a auction. It is sold as original and also have a COA by DN. I did not have time to reseach before bidding, soo need some help before tranfering money. Also it seems to have some damage... hope its not in making? that would be weird, any opinions...

Thanks from Nicolai

Thanks!!!!!

Thanks it might safe me money!!!.... any more opinions!!!!

Yes have also emailed Carsten Baldes for a advice about the COA. His answer where that there have been problems with faked COA before DN changed to another type. Soo in other words this COA can not stand alone...

Do anyone know for sure that the medal is a copy???
