8 Year Service Medal

[SScollector]

John, are you referring to the pebbling that accidently appears on the upper left oakleaf on the 4 year medals?

Peter, I haven't noticed a green tint to the 4 year medals, but maybe I
am partially color blind???

PS...I do not know if we have ever proven which style is Deschler and which is made by P & L unless some new info has come to light...I know we in the past attributed one style to one maker and the other style to the other maker....(Yeah I know high ribbon ring P & L...low Deschler...but I thought that was never proven?)

I think Mr. Lumsden can explain this matter, because i have sawn his words about it some time ago.

Chris,
Perhaps green was the not the correct descriptor here. It seems to be a deep "olive" black, not a true black.

OK, I know what mean now. Yes, it's not pure black. That is correct.
I think the dark olive tint is the accurate description for what you are talking about.

This olive black tint is almost impossible to reproduce. I would be suspicious of an all black medal.
