Jens,
One is free to believe in what they want. I personally do not base my appraisal of genuineness on acquisition date.

Hello,
I was wondering if there are (good quality) fakes of the Baikal-Amur railroad medal? There's one on an auction site going dirt cheap with a Veteran of the Soviet Armed Forces, Combat Service and random medals with wrong ribbons. Just wondering if the seller is ignorant of the medal's value or pulling my leg?
Greets,
Stah

These are the best pics I can get at the moment. Thoughts on this one:confused: Could this be a variation 2 because of the ring?

Brendan,
That is definitely a Type 1, if genuine (which I can't tell from these pictures).

Yes, I agree Marc. I pulled out the big Red Book and it looks good. As soon as it comes in I'll scan it and post the pics.

Other medals he sells doesn't look too good, i usually pass on sellers even if they have 1 or 2 medals that look suspicious.
My 2 cents.
