Hi,

I have the chance to purchase this Caucasus Defense document and medal for a fair price. But, I'm concerned that this doc is too intact to be true.
What do you think about it??? Is it real or fake????

Regards

Fabio

fpicoli,

Both the document and the medal look OK to me. The document is the scarcer Presidium of Supreme Soviet of the Georgian SSR variety :thumbsup
