Fake certificate of appreciation - desantnik - 11-18-2007
This document is a newly printed WWII-era design. The most obvious feature is the document is filled out in magic marker. Only closer examination of ink printing process would reveal forgery if faker wasn't so obvious. Forger also forgot to fill out v/ch troop unit number when stamp below identifies unit by name - a howitzer unit.

Paul,
Nice catch! This looks like a recent thing, just a year ago they didn't fake those.
