My dot versions came from the Schloss Klossheim hoard from members of the signal corps of the 3rd Division who took the castle in April 1945. No post war souviners here and directly from the veterans and with pictures from the castle takeover at their convention in Des Moines, Iowa, Tom (in your backyard). No post war items and no BS story.
SEVERAL members of this unit sold their medals to me and Jason Burmeister and others. Far too many veterans from the same unit with the same story to have had faded memories.
So, believe as you wish Tom, but I and several others are completely convinced about this particular medal being totally period original.
