Hi MedalBook. I am a student looking at industry economics in niche areas and I decided to look at medals because my grandpa has some. Can anyone suggest some items I could look at over the past 30 years that have fluctuated in value greatly? Thanks, Kat

The Iron Division Commemorative Medal shown here is a fake. A real one is worth about 500 EUROS as of Feb. 2022

How can you tell?

The silver finish is wrong. The details, especially in the teeth are weak, which is a common feature of fakes. The skull is too flat and is the wrong shape. This medal never had a ball suspension. I own an original with its award document and if mine was compared to this, the quality differences would become obvious.The price for originals has now increased to about 600 EUROS.

Can anyone confirm, as to why clasps were awarded in WWII instead of the actual Star when the recipient had been awarded a total of less than the official 5 Star total, I suspect this is something that just applies to flyers & sailors, where they flew over or sailed into enemy waters without actually having "boots on the ground", if my idea is correct can anyone tell me where I would find the written authority for such an orderterroresy
