I'm sorry, Phillip
but the translator told me: (Patacche) = (Smears)
But I wanted to say, a worthless objects

Now I understand you completely.:) Incidentally, you can always just PM me in Russian and I'll figure it our from there if we ever need that.

Jens,

That makes two of us! I want to see what kind of fool wastes money on producing something that can't possibly make any money.

The closest thing I can think of similar to this is the Chinese repros that are so bad that I don't understand how anyone would be gullible enough to pay for one.

Hello. Please have a look at this Berlin medal. It is a T2, u-shaped ring. I have other Capture of Berlin of T1 and T2, but this one is surprisingly shiny, as sometimes the voenkomats are. In the third picture, the new CoB is on the left, compared with a sure original.
What do you think? Grazie!

ciao

Sergio,
It seems to me just very worn and polished recently.

When I posted mine, http://soviet-awards.com/forum/soviet-mi...145033told told me that it is a medal of little value,
should not falsify it (for now)...

Marsino, does it mean that the medals in these pictures are original? ;)

ciao

P.S. They are sold as reproductions

I surrender :(
Last looks good, even if new.

but yours is ok for me
I do not want to interfere, the better to hear the expert.

PS
I see a lot of material...
But you have been to the supermarket? :chuckle

Personally I would pass on it and they fake EVERYTHING. With a fake "Veteran Of Labour" in a drawer here - you can't get much lower than that.

Hello, What do you think about this Budapest? It looks good to me but those caverns make me think that this is a fake. I appreciate your help.

Your suggestions are welcome.Thanks,Dmitri.

The side of the medal in those caverns. The width of the top is 2 mm, bottom 2.5, main star looks suspicious without edges on rays.
