Re: Fake Saving Drowning Medals
This is another from a batch of what appear to be fakes to me being sold on ePay from one seller. Cheap, but very annoying regardless.
Phillip The other two are here:http://www.soviet-awards.com/forum/s...medals-14.html

Re: Fake Saving Drowning Medals
The pictures really should be better, but from what I can see it looks good. The odd suspension ring is as it should be.
The problem with these types of medals is, as Eric(FG) pointed out in a different thread, they are widely and easily faked because good copies are so hard to spot without either having the expertise or the medal in your hands. Phillip

Re: Fake Saving Drowning Medals
Retired,
It looks OK to me from what can be seen. As Phillip indicated, better scans would not hurt. Marc |

In short, I think we both qualified our opinions with statements to the effect of: considering what we were given to work with...:) In my opinion, this is one of the hardest medals to determine authenticity just from photos or scans, but I didn't see anything overtly off about it - so far.:rolleyes: Phillip
