after my fronteer medal, here's what I believe my second fake in my collection (for the other, I spent a lot of patience and moooooney at good dealers...;)).
It came from Estonia or neighborood...Again I didn't heard a warning bell in my mind telling me "enamels are not beautifull red crimson blood" like those shown on the pics of a well known expensive guy of NJ...
the enamels are too dark though very well made.
the reveerse worried me a few times after (oh! curious! I just began to haunt a very good US forum...;)...and began to learn A LOT...)
the conical screwpost base...no patina...but still nice job, but not like the pics of NJ guy...
and...reading some posts:
soviet enamels are finished by polishing, giving a soft and perfect surface!
on my piece, still very nice but very fake (I think), you can see "waves" of hot enamel , flushing not perfectly on the "boundary" made by the metal sculptures...
on a genuine the enamels touch perfectly the metal sculptures.
if you could confirm my hypothesis...thanks!
the doc will come in the fakes doc section.
