Fake Restoration, Construction and Development Medals
Thank you very much for the help, Bill and CtahhR :thumbsup

This one was just offered to me by a friend, in comparison with the marketplace photo, it looks good to me, but its always nice to have a second opinion. :D

Looks okay to me. Bigger pictures of the medal (and not from the white background) would not hurt.

best regards

Agreed, that's more like it. Compare your most recent example to the first example you posted. The differences should be more obvious. There are "ring variations" of more recent manufacture, I think, of this medal, which your first example is trying, albeit unsuccessfully, to be, but these are more scarce.

Looks like I'll have to buy the example on the marketplace....

You have been warned, 20 hour notice.

Shall I pass on this one? Apparently they forgot to apply the gilding... :confused:

I know little about these so the only thing I can do is to show mine for comparison. The only problem is that I'm not sure mine is real :rolleyes:

Btw, it looks like your medal is cast.

Yes, I also think it might be a cast copy.

Well, much better than the one I have shown, with a lot more details and crispness. Still, no trace of the gold wash I would expect on such medals. I have no explanation. Normally you can still see some remaining of the gilding in "protected" areas. Here, I can't see any.

USSR,
your medal looks like a badly cast copy. Not even close to the original.
