I’ve had a good run but believe that I’ve got a bad one this time.

Although the obverse and reverse of the medal are quite crisp, I don’t like the area around the suspension ring at all, which shows an obvious seam. Also the ring on the medal, which is usually a perfectly formed ring soldered on, in this case looks crude and part of the casting.

If my suspicions are correct, it will serve to remind me that even very obscure, not especially desirable TR medals the being faked.

What do other people think of this medal?

With thanks,

Philip
