Re: All Other Medals
Hi,
I purchased recently this Medal for Valiant Labor in GPW. Seems to me a correct Type 3 medal, but some opinions will be appreciated. Regards, Ricardo |

Re: All Other Medals
Hi,
I purchased a second Valiant Labor in Patriotic War, apparently in better shape than my other. But when it arrived I observed some curious details when compared with the 1st one. - Seems to me both are from the same model, but second one has more copper apparency than the 1st one. - The second has a strange moulding fail at left side I don't have see before in others samples on net; - I don't like so much the manner this ring was closed, but the suspension seems to me the same model used in my 1st sample. I think it's a cheap medal, but I'd like to have some opinions about it. Regards, Ricardo |

Re: All Other Medals
It appears fine - the verdigris does not happen right away so if it is a copy, it is an older one. The ripple is not unusual for large production medals - in my limited experience. I would like to see the reverse to check the lettering.

Re: All Other Medals
Everything seems to line up correctly. I seriously doubt this is a fake.

Re: All Other Fake Medals
Hello,
I have got another Valiant Labor in WW2 from a small lot of cheap medals I purchased during Xmas holidays, which I would like to submit to your evaluation. Compared with other medals I have, this one seems extremely worn out, being the Stalin's bust as well as background completely flattened, and the letters on both sides somehow "soften". I still can't believe that such a cheap award can be faked, maybe the recipient was so proud of his shine medals to wipe them daily. Thanks for your opinions. ciao sergio Last edited by rocketscientist; 01-13-2013 at 03:20 PM. |

Re: All Other Fake Medals
The pebbling is sill there near the letters and in the recessed areas. I would think it's ok, just polished.
This is just my opinion though :) |

Re: All Other Fake Medals
I have my doubts, the lack of sharpness at the base of the letters, and the overall lack of detail. Signs of casting.
