Re: Fake Orders of Personal Courage

I wouldn't. I'd erase the serial number, engrave the word "copy" on the back and sell it as such. I used to do it in my previous life as a dealer.

Re: Fake Orders of Personal Courage

I've seen awards stamped or engraved "copy" (or similar) sold off with fairy tales attached for good money.

Sometimes the stories are worth far more than the items - even if it's made up.

Re: Fake Orders of Personal Courage

X had to buy a copy X after his original was lost/stolen/destroyed during X and the "powers" authorised it as legitimate or some other lie.

Re: Fake Orders of Personal Courage

Looks like a fake to me.

best regards
Andreas

P.S. Pictures of the suspension are worthless. Use the space for better/bigger pictures of the award itself.
