25 Year Polizei medal for review

[Viracocha]

Hi members,

I need some help on this medal. It feels light compared to my other 25 yr medal. Any advice is much appreciated!

This one weighs in at 23 grams.......

Hi RonR,

So you are saying they should all weigh around 23g? No other medal used for this type of award? Thanks for the input!

[RonR]

Sorry that I do not have the information as to other materials used in these medals.

The others that I have all appear to be the same, and have similar equal weights.

Perhaps one of our more knowledgeable members can be of better help.

Best regards,

From your photos it appears to have some good qualities, but would it be possible to get some "close up" views of the eagle and claw area? Here is one of mine for comparison.
Thanks, Randy

Sorry I don't have the scales to weigh my 25 year award but here is my Rettenmaier-marked piece (please excuse the fake display ribbon )





The details of the subject piece look fine to me.

I don't have a scale looks like I need to invest in one. Please see updated pics.
