Hi gentlemen and possibly ladies :)

After a long time I come back "home" to this forum.... I confess I abandoned for a while my beloved hobby in soviet medals and orders due to their even more increased price and number of fakes in the market. Moreover best pieces come always or often from abroad.
Last few days I received an offer for an Odessa defence medal ....declared from seller as a Type 2 (ring as part of the medal... given to people in post-war period etc..). To my wallet the price for this medal looked good (I'm more a money expert rather than a medals expert hehe) but the medal itself seem not really a genuine one to me.

Odessa defence is the piece I miss to complete my collection !!! :(

I ask, kindly, some expert's opinion in this forum. The most striking things I noticed and didn't like to me in this piece are the gilding and the shape of the ring (the way it's part of the medal). Details of the soldiers pass in second place as the pictures are not so .... detailed. Could it be a so called Umalatova's edition ? or a fake from common market ?
MANY THANKS to anyone would help me or express an opinion.
