Re: Gold-plated medals..Old question - no answers?
here it comes. I still didn't managed to get a new scanner thou :(, but hopefully my USB microscope x200 would arrive shortly, so I will be able to post really small details in 50kb :)
The medal is definitely home made, there is bad gilding around the ear

Re: Gold-plated medals..Old question - no answers?
It does have that "dusty" look that could well be from the titanium oxide. You can see where the gilding was difficult around the star. I know you are probably tired of dealing with this medal and our requests, but I would really like to see a closeup of the star and at least one shot of the reverse since that's where the gilding seems to come off first.:)

Re: Gold-plated medals..Old question - no answers?
Many thanks.:thumbsup And just as Alexei said, you can clearly see that the gilt was added after the enamel in this example. Now I'll have to post a closeup of the star on mine tomorrow so you can see the difference. The reverse is as faded as many like this seem to get.

Agreed - fantastic photo, especially since he is wearing veteran medals above and before Soviet ones (including the non-standard medal I started this thread to discuss).:thumbsup

Nice Doc but the drawing of the medal is not in gold color...
Just a better resolution picture.. for me, seems real do you have any other Veteran's Pictures wearing this medal?

Re: Medal "Veteran Of The Armed Forces Of The U.S.S.R.".
Document for the medal "Veteran of the Armed Forces" awarded for 25 years long service to Guards Captain-Engineer Anatolii Grigorevich Zaitsev, on 9 December 1977, by Troop Unit 23495.
This unit is the Strategic Rocket Forces Mobile Repair Station #858 based in Konotop, Ukraine. Nice calligraphy. |
