Thanks Kabakuyu,I've been following this for a while.The list of different named medals are growing weekly from this seller.It seems he's buying original medals and copying them as he goes along and it would appear that there is more than just British WW1 Star medals being copied.I believe from other sources that it's being done using wax moulds.
