oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 04/19/2019 4:04 pm @Bieder, the rim has quite a few bumps and looks a bit polished, and there are a few spots where a loop may have been removed and mostly polished off. In fact, both sides show evidence of cleaning/ polishing which is now beginning to retone a bit. Edited by oriole 04/19/2019 4:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JaseMcNotty New Member Ireland 17 Posts	Posted 04/19/2019 4:29 pm Assuming the items on this site: https://www.emedals.com/europe/germ...rvice-awards .. are genuine, I'd say it's real. Seems like an odd thing to fake given the prices they're going for on that site. There's a couple of "12 year" ones on right now and the fonts aren't the same, probably meaning they chopped and changed their process as they pleased. One of them does match yours pretty well though. https://www.emedals.com/europe/germ...-medal-74419 Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5239 Posts	Posted 04/19/2019 7:53 pm Thanks, CCF. So, a 12 year armed service medal. Looking at it, the most likely spot for the loop is also exactly where it should be. Report this Post to the Staff
