Hi and welcome to the forum. It looks to be an original Mine Rescue medal. I have never seen one mounted(modified for wear).

Let us see what others think, but I see nothing wrong with it at all...

Best regards

Thanks, Paul, for your reassuring post. Having inspected the medal, I found out that the ribbon was new, which arouse my suspicions as to the medal itself.

Cheers, Vlad

Ribbon is certainly incorrect in mounting style. Any mark stamped on the jump ring?

No, it's not marked.
