Take it to a coin dealer who specializes in medals, or WWI coins. it is pretty cool, if authentic, it would be worth a lot of money. Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 02/05/2018 7:10 pm I have no doubt that this is an authentic medal. This website provides the information on this medal https://numismatica-italiana.lamone...a/W-ME61O/17 In Chrome and it translated the page for me when I clicked the translate page icon. -MV Report this Post to the Staff

It weighs 31.6 grams instead of the 32.86 grams lamoneta states. Does that end the discussion? Report this Post to the Staff

Rivalta that worries me. It seems to lack the fluidity that I've seen on other examples of this medal. Or it could just be a pressing when the dies were nearing exhaustion, the escutcheon on the helmet also looks to be a weak strike. Report this Post to the Staff
