Dealer is missing the point. The star is gold plated. Therefore worthless. It does not matter it was damaged or not and by whom. It is a fake and therefore owes you the money an apoligy.

Around mid-September, seller finally admitted that "items got lost in mail" and accepted to exchange the items to me or reimburse me.
In October, I received the package with those medals, but as soon as I opened it, I saw that the gold star on the Mother Hero was not legit.
I did the packaging myself and I can ensure everybody that the Order of Mother Hero was in the exact same condition as when received by me 2 days earlier. There was no big scratch on it.
Package was well wrapped to protect the awards and I decided to send by registered mail because I was starting to lose confidence in that seller.
Few days later, seller received package and signed for it.
He then emailed me telling me that he won't be able to reimburse me because I had barbarously destroyed the item. He even included scans of the gold star which you can see in attachment here. See the two huge scratches on the bottom rays.
I emailed him back telling him I was not going to play that game. I had been honest and of good faith from the beginning until now and he had not. I tried few times to repeat to him that order was not shipped to him in the state shown on the picture. But he didn't want to hear anything. I even called him by phone trying to resolve this. He was not cooperative at all and he was just telling me that if it had not been done by me, it had been done by my jeweller. He told me that there was "no other way to determine if it was gold than to make those huge scratches and that it was what has happened."
NOTE: The attached picture was sent by the seller and he claims this is the state in which he received it from me.
