SS- 12 years medal

[J C Gray]

And this is your example.

If you use the Forum's search function you can find more information on this and other 12yr SS fakes.

The 4 years is trash too.

The NSDAP 15 is bad too. As is the red cross neck cross. This is all just from 1 page. Not much point in going further.

Well, I couldn't resist going to the next page where I clicked on SS-Polizei and SS-Feldgendarmerie cuff titles. Both bad.

Very well. But how can you tell? Its only a picture. What can you see to say
its a fake?

Because your fake medal is so bad that we can affirm from a blurry picture that the medal is good to be used as paper weight.

Never buy a expensive item - this kind of itens are good to advanced collections - without sure and knowledge, start with the basic and train your eyes for the minor details.

its a fake? I will trust your experties.

The one big give away is the motto on the reverse. Look at the size of the "für" on yours and the genuine medals.
