Default Police 8 year

Hey

Could you please help me, with validating this one, I just learned a new "trick", that is to draw a line on a piece of paper, if you can see the line it is properly made of lead (like the pencil) and it is a fake, therefore, what is your opinion about

1) the method
2) the picture

Thank you for your help

Best

Trick/method, Pictures. The pitting makes me think of a possible cast copy or dug/cleaned example. Need clear pics!

Not sure if i understand your pencil method, but the medal itself lacks the quality of an original.

Those pictures help a little, thanks for posting. I have to agree with others, a repro that lacks quality of an orginal.
