Re: Fake "Defense of" Campaign Medals

I do not like the Sevastopol: some details are crisp clear, some seem to have been polished away almost completely... that`s very unusual. Odessa looks good concerning the details visible, bus as USSR said: it`s a tough one definately...

Re: Fake "Defense of" Campaign Medals

I like them all, being a big fan of the two piece steel suspensions. The document for the Defense of Leningrad was issued to Valentin Mikhailovich Gomzyakov on June 5th, 1943.

Odessa looks good, I still do not like the Sevastopol.

Re: Fake "Defense of" Campaign Medals

I'm certainly not as optimistic about the Odessa. I've seen a wave fakes that look very similar.

What are the measurements?
