Hello,

what do you think about the Donbass medal on the left? On the right side of the picture is an original medal, left I think it is a high quality copy.

best regards and thanks

Impressive! I can only see some difference in the letters on the front, poor pebbling on the rear. For the rest, I think I would be cheated by this one..!

I have got this one. I thought it was good, but having seen what kind of copies are in circulation nowadays, I am no longer sure :confused:.

Sergio, I am of the opinion it is a good one based on the quality of the first two scans. It certainly possesses the manufacturing characteristics I would look for, i.e. sharpness/crispness of the details, suspension ring, pebbling, and so on.

I wouldnt be able to pretend to know about the authenticity of Donbass Medals, but i must say, the 3rd picture is a brilliant one.

The background and lighting certainly all came together on it! Bravo!

Thanks for your comments, gentlemen! I needed to be reassured...:o

Soliciting the collective experience and additional opinions on this seemingly well-worn Medal for Restoration of the Black Metal Enterprises of the South; thank you!
