Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
Was that song written by the Sherman Brothers?

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
I was also watching a program the other day about the Arctic Convoys and the Veteran also mentioned he was grateful to the Russians for saving his life when his ship was torpedoed and for giving them a medal every 10 years, while the British Government doesnt aknowledge them in any way (this was prior to the Arctic Star), are these the common 50 and 60 year anniversary medals? Did any of the Arctic Convoy men receive any of the other Jubilee medals ie 20 & 30 years of victory, or did they just start from 1985 onwards?
Many thanks again! |

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
Only the 40th and later was awarded to "Westerners" with the 40th being officially recognised for wear.
Here's a fake Medal "In Memory Of The 250th Anniversary Of Leningrad". Not quite the most coveted and obscure of Soviet Medals.

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
Is that definitley fake and not just burnt or something?
I dont have one to hand to compare details with though so it may well be a fake! |

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
As fake as a Bank Of Wales £7 note.
It even has a seam along the edge from casting. Having it in hand it does sound as though there may be a fairly considerable (considering size) hollow in it.

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
Fair enough! Looking at the images on my phone, it just look beat up but in hand is always a different story :)

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
Don't worry, it certainly does look sorry.
It really is crude, which is fortunate.

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
Anyone seen a "silver" XXX medal?
I think the miscolouring of the ribbon is because it is glued on. POSTING EDITED - PLEASE READ "FAQ" The Soviet Military Awards Page Forum - FAQ: All About Images and the Forum Last edited by CrazyCatman; 06-20-2013 at 04:31 AM. Reason: Failure to read FAQ |

Re: Fake Jubilee & Anniversary Medals
Welcome! I agree, the medal is made of brass, not silver, unless it was re-plated or rewashed. Regardless, I think the ribbon is also incorrect.

What puzzles me is the colour of the medal... I have two others, but both brass - this is the only "silver" I have seen. Seems fishy. |
