Re: Fake Orders of the Patriotic War 1st Class
Iltt,
Can you please post a large picture of the front and the back of the gold piece. From the ones you posted, there seems to be some bubbling which could possibly indicate casting. Marc |

Re: Fake Orders of the Patriotic War 1st Class
Iltt,
I am not sure here. The gold star is markedly lighter that it should be (~14.3 g), and there are many bubble-like pimples both on the front and back of it. Can you do as large a large scan of the mintmark only as possible? Marc |

Re: Fake Orders of the Patriotic War 1st Class
Iltt,
Thank you for the new image, although of limited use. I tend to believe that the gold star is actually a good quality cast copy. I am afraid that a definite diagnosis can be made only by holding the piece in hand. Marc |

Re: Fake Orders of the Patriotic War 1st Class
Marc,
Thank you for your help!:thumbsup This OPW 1st measures 45mm tall, 43mm wide, smaller than average. I have no idea. I'm afraid I must turn to golden identification for help:( Iltt |

Re: Fake Orders of the Patriotic War 1st Class
Iltt,
I am afraid that with the last bit of information you provided, you just confirmed my doubts: a cast piece. When a cast is made, upon cooling the metal shrinks slightly, resulting in copies that are smaller than the original. Marc |

Ruiz,
It looks good to me from what can be seen, although larger picture wouldn't hurt ;) Marc |
