Fake "Defense of" Campaign Medals

[Alfred]

Hello Ruiz,

how is the form of the pilot cockpit? I can´t recognize this detail on your picture.

If the cockpit is like on the left picture, it is a fake.

best regards
Andreas

I think that it´s original.

hello, the mint mark and the ring should indicate a Voenkomat variation, but we can't see much with such a little picture...

[3aStalina]

What do you think, experts fellow collectors of this medal?

[Alfred]

Sadely, pictures are to small. But it looks as a casted medal to me.

Better pictures is a must.
