Alexei,

Yes, it should... Once upon a time, it was part of a retired dealer's inventory :cool:

Oh, I see. In this case it's a fake, and you should sent it back for full refund of the original purchase price :)

Andreas,

I don't like it. It seems to have that "cast" quality :(

While the type 2 & 3 seem to have more of a grainy, cast appearance, the details (such cooling vents on the PPSH barrel) do not seem to be what they should be on this one. I'm skeptical.

Seems OK to me (at least as far as I can tell from the scans)

Andreas,

As usual, I'll sound along with Alexei ;)
The medal looks OK to me based on what you showed.

Thanks Marc and Alexei for your oppinions,

Now I am totally sure that this one is okay.:) I bought it from a large dealer in the US.

But most of my collector friends were sceptical about this one and showed me their medals, which looked different :thumbsdown

best regards
Andreas
