Stahanov,
I tend to like it. Please try to post a large scan of the top part of the shield for confirmation.
As to the ring, I believe that it is OK. These medals were struck in several batches, so ring appearance varied. Now, if I am mistaken on this point and this is indeed a fake, it means that fakers now master the skill of making struck rings more than quite convincingly; a rather scary thought :(
