XX Long Service - 8 Years - original or FAKE ???

thank Petr

Bad unfortunately.

The details give this away, even though it has been made to look ground dug.

The wreath binder and leaves are an instant NO NO and it is a common fake.

Originals were made from Tombak and Tombak does not look like that when ground dug.Your posted example is obviously zink based. So that is another instant Red flag.

This medal is not a wartime piece.

Thank guys. Petr

...also, note the way the eyelet has been filed down to try and emulate the beveling on originals, before it was buried in the back yard
