Fake Medals for Victory over Germany and Japan

Note the lack of wear traces, and grey residue, typical on various fakes.

Tal,

I think it's legit, just has old traces of cleaning.

Hi .. just one last one I'd like a concensous whether it's ok or not. Thanks.

It's a good one.

I don't beleive this medal is being faked as of yet.

Every single medals have been faked, but not all are wide spread. I've already seen on the net a fake "Victory over Germany" replica, but it was so ugly than anybody could tell the difference.

Thats not true, one example is the Jubilee medals are definitley not faked except for the foriegner version of it. So to say all medals are faked is mis-leading.

Whether all medals are faked or not aside, Alexei believes that both victory over germany and victory over germany are faked.

Another one I'd like everyone to look at closely. Does the finish appear a little bright? How about the ring?

Thanks again.

It's all right. It is a post-war variation. Very normal that is made that cheap. :)
