2 New Shooting Medals and Question

Zohar

I just received these 2 which I like. The St. Gallen has strong mirror like brightness seeming that it had been dipped, yet not the harsh hairlines one would have expected. What do you make of the look of this medal? Cleaned or simply mirror-like. Thank you.

Zohar,

If the photo represents the brightness your describing then it looks lightly polished to me not neccessarily dipped. The field right of the bear on the reverse looks likes some rub lines to me ... are these visible in hand or is it just lighting.

In hand shows as very bright. I wrote the seller asking for clarification yet in hand it seems unnatural PL like. Let's see what he comes back with.

Based on your images, Z, I would say it looks cleaned.

Zohar - I would have to vote for cleaned also. The obv area near the 1895 date is what pushes me in this direction. With that said, it is a nice design.
