MINT SS shooting Award for opinions

[oldtrcollector]

I placed this item (apparantly) in the wrong forum, so I will start a new thread here. I hope I did this correctly. It is a mint SS shooting award - I think it is 4th class. What do you think? Real or Repro?

Is it silver wire? Actually it is for a Marksman 2nd Class. There was a 1st Class and two higher. An excellent article by Mollo in "The Military Advisor" of Winter 2003/2004 discusses them.

Yes, it has coiled silver wire. That center thing is 3 very small coils of wire. The circular coils of wire don't have visible seams where they must be joined together. This piece is really quite intricate.
