Mine Rescue
Hi
I sold this piece and it is being called out as a fake on MFF
It is not simular to the fakes I have seen usually in zink and has everything I expect in an original
Square base on top of medaille to jump loop
Highly detailed features
Original Ribbon , soft and flexible.
Quality tombak
Any other opinions?
Best
Dion

I have an original of this medal and is quite similar in hardware and all kind of details. Looking carefully i found the lettering details in your medal is softer, but if I had to bet i´ll bet yours is a good one.

Hi Gregerio
My one has lost a lot of finish and is worn down, you can see the wear on the eagle breast and the lettering.

Maybe... or maybe a different die. Soldering of the ring look different too.
Here you have the mine for comparing. The low part is not very well focoused. Look the upper side.
