Fake "Capture of" Campaign Medals

[CtahhR]

The 100% positive feedback is often very deceptive. There are a good number of pedallers of fakes in Ukraine, Lithuania, etc that are very well known for their fakes but still continue to offer 1,000,000% real items to those willing to believe they can consistently purchase items from them year in, year out for under market value. Ignorance is bliss.

In collecting these items we must always be receptive to learning.

If a Soviet Soldier received 4 campaign Medals it is almost certain they will be found on Podvignaroda.ru Then when the documents match up to the information on the citations a little bit of suspicion can be removed. "The site" can offer great insights into items we had little idea of their historical importance or contrastingly expose our susceptibility to fakes.

Many times I have been promised I have obtained a "complete group" only to find that the "top end" has already gone walkabout. Then again I've learnt my lesson and always check!
