Eric,
If I were you, I'd re-read what Phillip and I wrote. Then, since you live in the Land of the Free... Marc

Free may even be too high a price to pay.......

In between my last two posts I asked for better images. The seller did not send any but did reply to say only "100% original". My response;
"Really? That's strange because three of the *moderators* at the Soviet Awards Page forum said that it was not original. So, would you care to provide better images and prove them wrong? It's up to you. I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong. Thanks, Eric G.." What will be the reply I get, do you think? ;)

I got not one but two annoyed emails from our dear dealer:
1) "Medal I have more than 15 years. These medals no one will ever forge. Too cheap!" and this one a hour and a half later: 2) "Your moderators fool you! I can give you a link to the Russian forum of collectors. The people there were more competent!" But still no improved images.

Oh my, oh my! This aggressiveness hints me that this seller "might" be trying to protect his fakes. Well well...
Lol, so he didn't give you the link to the Russian forum he was talking about? Seems weird that he didn't just send you the link right there and then, instead of just talking about it. ;) I think his answer sums it up. Either it's a fake, or we're dealing with another ADHD dealer. xD Gabriel

Maybe you want to send the dealer a link to my scan on the fake Veteran Of Labour here on the forum and ask "Cheaper than a Veteran Of Labour?"
If it existed it can, will and has been faked..... If it never existed it can be dreamt up! Always be aware of these facts.
