Got this today. I read the treads and I think this is OK but still would like opinions.
Thanks

Nice looking piece! On the original suspension?

BTW, those first two images were very well taken. Would that everybody around here could do that. ;)

Here's another of my bargain basement gongs (I pick these things up if the price is right, around 5 quid if memory serves), any idea if it's good or not, I think it is:

Oh good, at least one of my medals is pukka.

Thanks,
Tom :-)

This is a real, post-war CSM to which some shmo added a serial number to increase its individual value or round out a set with a missing CSM.

here is mine, its not numbered but it came in a documented set with another one of these which was numbered (missing) and an order of the red star which i have. Tell me what you think, sorry for the bad light in the photos.

RedArmy2,

Nice, genuine, late-issue medal.
