Fake Labour Medals

Hi Gents,

There is any VOENKOMAT version of "Medal for Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War"???

Thanks,

Marc

Marc, in my brief check on the Mondvor website, I didn't see anything indicating that. All of the last ones that were not awarded in the 1940s for whatever reason, were aluminum based with an oxidized metal for color (if I am reading the Russian correctly).

Maybe I am misunderstanding your question?

Almost, only small misunderstanding. Aluminium is about kolodka (suspension). Medal itself -cooper :cheers. I guess you can classify the last version as voenkomat one

Phillip, I think you don't misunderstanding my question, you explained that there is the possibility of an oxidized aliminium that can be confusious, but ph3s you think that can be possible that a voenkomat version exist...
I think it so, but I've never seen one before. If somebody have it please put some photos. Thanks Gents!

There are no oxidized aluminum medals. There are no cooper, or copper for that matter, medals.(why is copper so popular lately???) There are only silver. (Fakes, of course, are a different story.)
I can see a "variant 5" that was issued last that would probably turn up most often at the local voenkomats. Maybe that's what the OP wants???
As far as images: Медаль "За трудовую доблесть" 2

I meant the last version v 4 can be considered as voenkomat, same techniques used the ear is neither soldered nor trimmed.

[ph3s]

nope, but there is google translator as well as babelfish. I guess you gonna consider to learn slavic alphabet and some russian words pretty soon ;)

[ww2_collector]

well, I can translate the slavic words to latin words, but not all words and only one by one... I prefer the translator :D

Thanks! :thumbsup

Guys,

It seems to me that there may be some misunderstanding here. Marc asked about the Medal for Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War, which happens to be made in copper. So, indeed, this medal can be found as a voenkomat version, but for whatever reason, it happens to be one of the scarcest ones in that later type.
