Fake Ushakov Medals

[Lapa]

No Ukaz(Order to be granted) is 1966

Wondering, what the person must done in 1966 to be awarded by Ushakov medal?

It would most likely be a catch-up award.

...I can't see any casting signs, even die-cast must have that 'nice' dotty surface.

Not always, unfortunately. Fakers have vastly improved their techniques, and the days of the obvious, "pebbled" surface are long over

...A good casting copy?

Andreas,

At first glance, I tend to like it; apart from the defects you pointed out, all seems to be as it should.
