Is there any news of faked medal of the 30th Anniversary?
I have two of them, and they are quite different in the details. In the two pictures, differences are everywhere, look at Stalin and his uniform!

I would be happy to hear your opinions.

My guess would be "wear". Wear to the medal itself and wear to the die that struck the medallion in the first place.

Sergio, Eric,

Wear has nothing to do here. There were two distinct master dies for this medal, that is all. Have a look at the Mondvor site, you'll get the explanation.

Thank you for the advice, Marc. I was sure that the two medals were different and originated from different sources. Good to learn that the this is a known fact and both medals could be original.

I tried to translate the russian text both in Italian and English by using a web service (...) but still I had difficulties.
I understand it confirms the possibility that different dies exist, causing "These differences [that] are most pronounced in the study of race and buttonhole on the coat of Stalin. Эти различия наиболее заметны при изучении погонов и петлиц на кителе Сталина."
(Now, it is not clear to me what a study of race is). Nevertheless, Mondvor says, "it remains an open question".

I am guessing this is the computer way of translating "погоны". LOL! This means shoulder boards.

Seems OK to me, but I'd like some confirmation on this one... :)

Sorry for the bad pictures, but this is what the auctioner sent me.
