Can anybody verify if these medals are authentic or replicas and their value either way? Image quality is not great, hope you can help. Thanks!

I think it's a good cross bar with an old patina.
Close to 120 Eur.

Both medals seem much more ages than the bar itself.... probably was without the medals and these were added. Still all original but value in the states more like $75.00/$90.00 retail.... IMHO.

The markings or lack of on the EKII could effect the value but realistically I agree with John, maybe $100 top retail. The main problem could be actually shifting them as it's a very common combination and given the difference John pointed out in wear between the mount and the medals ....
