Fake Orders of Friendship of Peoples.

[USSR]

It is nicely made but I still think it is a fake. Hand engraved serial number, broken fingers and fake patina. Am I right? It is made of silver btw, I've tested it...

USSR--definitely a fake. Broken fingers is a good indicator, there are several more of course. :thumbsup

Cheers, George

[USSR]

Thanks George,

I will send it back to the person I bought it from for a refund. What else do you see isn't good?

100% fake.

Ears of corn in the state symbol are wrong.

Hi Guys,

what do you think about the piece on the left? An original piece on the right side for comparision. I saw a few Order of Friendship with strange engraved serial number.

best regards and thanks

Andreas,

It's one of the two (if memory serves) handwriting styles, observed in this range.

Please have a look at this one ...
