Spence Moderator United States 34576 Posts	Posted 05/22/2025 06:55 am @whc, are you sure that your medal is made from white metal rather than iron? I ask because of the listing over at Medallic Art Collector: https://medallicartcollector.com/bu...lag-35.shtml "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
WHC Valued Member Russia 191 Posts	Posted 05/22/2025 07:23 am When I cleaned it, it didn't seem like iron to me. Besides, I also rely on the opinion of the auction representatives. It's not my medal, by the way. ))) I would never pay that kind of money. Report this Post to the Staff

WHC Valued Member Russia 191 Posts	Posted 05/23/2025 02:12 am @Marve65 Yes, you're right. An obvious and elementary test. Indeed, iron. Report this Post to the Staff
