Allan H. Posted April 1, 2018 Share #3 Posted April 1, 2018 My gut says that it is a fake. The drape is undoubtedly NOT an original. I also don't like all of the pitting to the surface of the medal. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smwinter207 Posted April 1, 2018 Share #4 Posted April 1, 2018 The actual medal looks real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadet Posted April 1, 2018 Share #5 Posted April 1, 2018 To me it looks like the "lug" typically found on a PH was ground down from each side to make it thin enough to accept the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KASTAUFFER Posted April 1, 2018 Share #6 Posted April 1, 2018 The shield is painted and not enameled. It's not a US Govt contract medal. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROY222 Posted April 1, 2018 Share #7 Posted April 1, 2018 It is fake. They are starting to fake more and more US medals. The China fakers have faked every US badge and US wing. They even put fake hallmarks on the items anymore. Terrible that they do this and get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smwinter207 Posted April 2, 2018 Share #9 Posted April 2, 2018 Can you take a better closeup of the front of the medal and the back? To me, this looks like someone messed with the suspender, not the rest of the medal. But it's difficult to see. Thx Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
