Hello, can anyone tell me if these are originals or post war copies?

Can anyone tell me the best forum for Canadian and British medals?

Thanks
Wayne

These look fine. The Canadian issue was silver, while the British was not.

Is there quite a difference in value? I paid $60 CDn for these.

Thanks

Hi Wayne, That is a fair value for these.

the British Medals Forum is very good for reference or help...

I just picked up on this topic whilst looking for something else....

These medals look plated to me, & this, to some medal collectors, makes a lot of difference in value.

$60 would seem to be a reasonable price for plated medals, but you should know you may have trouble moving them when you decide to do that.

Replacement medals are not silver like the originals. Cheers Brian
