Felix,
I am not sure about the medal, for whatever reason I can't open his auction. Nayway, this guy has an "interesting" inventory for sure. He must have been able to purchase every single NKVD ID in existence from their original owners to be able to offer so many of them. By the way, have a look at the recent thread about the fake Stalingrad document, he happened to be the seller. After that, you can freely make up your mind about him and his offerings. Marc |

Thanks Marc, I know the reputation of this seller. He's not the only one to sell this medal with the booklet, I just put his auction as an example. I find odd to find this booklet time to time on ebay.

Felix,
If I accurately compute, this medal should have been issued about 1989, which is roughly speaking when the regime changed. It may have been manufactured in fairly large numbers, then stashed away due to political changes. With the coalition intervention in Afghanistan, it is conceivable that someone pulled them out of retirement and started selling them, hence becoming available. It may sound reasonable, but this is only my guess. Marc |

Unfortunately, you and I know that things which simply do not make sense ARE being faked. That being said, I don't believe that it would be the case here. Marc |
