Fake KGB table medal?
This one just looks too sloppy to be real. "Special Communications" - any thoughts?

Re: Fake KGB table medal?
I'm starting to find more of these "KGB Table Medals" that look odd. Here's another one.

Re: Fake KGB table medal?
Phillip, the lack of detail would worry me as well. Looks like cast copies?
If it was a medal that somebody wore every day the less than crisp state may be explained by over zealous cleaning but I haven't come across anybody who over cleaned table medals. Simon |

Phillip,
I agree with Simon, they definitely look cast. Marc |

Re: Fake KGB table medal?
Thank you both. I suppose that I should have guessed that anything with a sword and shield would eventually be copied (post #2) and I'm not even sure if the one in the first post ever really existed until recently (if you get my meaning);).
Very sad and frustrating because the original version of the medal in post #2 is a well-known one and not exactly cheap.:( Phillip
