Did you get the accompanying documents? IMHO, that would be the only way to confirm to some point the genuineness of the purported SN. Marc

Hello,
no, but I examined them with my 10x magnification glass and wearing traces, patina, used stencil set, etc. seem to be o.k. Jens

Yeah, with these you never know. But I would still like to get a hold on one of them.

Hello !
Another one a friend of mine has brought along from Volgograd ! It still has traces of earth in the depressions of the letters, so I think it was digged out on a battlefield area not long ago. This one was definately hit by a shrapnel or a bullet. The impact was so heavy that the suspension ring was totally ripped off the medal - a real piece of (tragic) history... but quite interesting.

That's a real historical piece.
Have you initiated research by number? I would be VERY surprised if once you found who it was awarded to you do not find their name in the state memorial website.

Really cool. Reminds me of a famous mid-80s retirement home photo by Vladimir Rolov.

If from what I see, the first digit is a "4", indicating a number in the #400K range, I doubt it was awarded for Stalingrad.
