Fake Labour Medals

[desantnik]

The medal in Frame #76 is good. These are easy to determine whether they are real or not - the "No" must be die struck and integral to the medal. If you ever see an engraved "No" - it's bad.

Well gents, thank you and I feel much better now. I guess I'm getting a little too paranoid about medals that both had and didn't have serial numbers. At least the seller didn't try to put it on an old-type triangular suspension.:rolleyes:

Thanks Marc.:thumbsup The price shot up considerably after I posted this so I'm probably out of the running now.:)

Jens,

The medallion looks good to me. You need better detailed scans of the suspension.

Hi Marc,

I will send you an email...

I think it is actually a good sign when you can see that someone polished it rather recently and the patina is still hanging around the letters and in the grooves of the engraving. No chemical version looks right under those circumstances.

I agree, the medallion is good. Can't say much about the suspension.
