Thanks Travel-north!
Here some more pictures of the Polar. Is it possible this variation is thicker? Last edited by CtahhR; 06-11-2013 at 07:42 AM. |

Re: Fake "Defense of" Campaign Medals
Looks like a normal voenkomat medal to me. Quite rare!

Is it normal that a voenkomat medal has the serifs of the consecutive K and Y at different height like the older variations? To understand what I mean, look at this detail in the other 2 Voenkomats and in the Caucasus (which is a soldered ring type) and you'll notice that the "KY" on the polar is similar to the one on the caucasus medal. |

Re: Fake "Defense of" Campaign Medals
It certainly isn't as late to be one of Ms. Umalatova's.

Re: Fake "Defense of" Campaign Medals
I think I've seen one of these before. Is it 0.2-0.3 millimetres smaller in diameter than usual?

These pictures is the only thing I could get from the seller. Having seen them, I have no serious intention to buy this medal, therefore I'd prefer not to bother him asking further questions. |

Re: Fake "Defense of" Campaign Medals
I believe I have seen these before. Around 0.2-0.3 mm undersized and often caked in fake jet black patina. They don't obviously seem cast so they must be trying new production techniques.
I'd only buy an Odessa from a highly trusted source. Paying the "extra" to ensure it is real is better than getting one half price and never being satisfied.
