Re: Fake Medals for Victory over Germany and Japan
You either lacquer it, which ruins the piece in "some" people's eyes.
Or you keep it in a vacuum chamber. :thumbsup |

Re: Fake Medals for Victory over Germany and Japan
Sergei, what kind of plastic pouches do you use? You should use special plastic inserts for collecting because not all types of plastic is safe. I've been keeping my medals in a business cards folder (plastic) and there's no bad reaction.

Re: Fake Medals for Victory over Germany and Japan
Can anybody confirm that it's Umalatova? Where the dark spots are it seems to be peeling off.

Re: Fake Medals for Victory over Germany and Japan
I don't know if these are much better... The small dark spots on the letters seem to be surface layer peeling off.

Re: Fake Medals for Victory over Germany and Japan
The picture of the reverse is out of focus but it does look to be an "Umalatova" The ribbon and document are the main "tells" of Umalatovas. The minting numbers of these for Umalatova to "award" are tiny in comparison to the number of real Soviet mints.
This particular Umalatova is a strange thing indeed and things like desirability and value are something to speculate upon. These usually sell for more that the real deal with a real document when they turn up with the Umalatova "signed" document.

Re: Fake Medals for Victory over Germany and Japan
Guys,
I have yet to see a "real" Umalatova. If someone can post one (good scans, please, not the usual post-stamp sized pictures), I'd love to have a good look at it. From what can be seen (that is, not much) on Travel North pictures, it does not look unusual to me. Marc |

Re: Fake Medals for Victory over Germany and Japan
I'll get on to that and put it in the "Umalatova" Awards section tomorrow.
