Agreed.

I also agree, it looks artificialy aged, a fake

Lead? Fleet.

It looks typical of Rudy's post war Sixties era creations with the flimsy cast in hinge assembly seen on some of his Later cast in lead badges.
A definite example to leave Out of your collection, Sorry.

Looks like the same setup discussed here:

And I agree with Hubert, looks artificially "aged". Nasty...

Best regards,

Thanks guys for all your comments !

Thanks for all your advice.

I did not want to waste my time driving a 100 miles to look at these
medals.

I am always wary of souval medals, even though souval made genuine
era medals.

Cheers steven.
