This medal is very very black so I am not sure how I would lighten it up for you

It looks (from these photos) like an original Type I, but as stated above, better lit photos would help to see the detailing.

It should look like this...

We need to see the details, David may be willing to take it based on the original photos but I would not. The detail is hidden in the shadows, see the other photos posted here in this thread for an example of what I am talking about.

I took you at your word-no sarcasm intended in my post, just assumed you knew the badge well enough to make a decision based on the first photos.
