Ushakov
I think this seller shows in his listing obverses of two different medals:confused:
The medal on the left is fake, the medal on the right looks OK Last edited by ericlida; 07-24-2007 at 01:10 AM. |

You might be right. patina seems to match but the details under the chin seems to be different. Unless light can play such a tricks.:confused:

Not only these differences.
Faces of Ushakov are different, and more detales. |

I too was looking at this one on... :chuckle At any rate there are attributes straight out of the Comprehensive Guide that make it appear to be a fake. Including:
1) Uneven dots on obverse. 2) "Spine" on anchor on reverse. 3) Serial number too deeply stamped. |

Well based on the previous comments i would assume that this one is fake too..(despite the fact that even unexperienced collector like me noticed that most of the medals from this seller are indeed fakes). So here goes again..
Details look fine but number also looks to be stamped too deeply. Last edited by Nota Bene; 07-29-2007 at 11:58 AM. |
