Darrell,

I've merged these threads together.

Looks good.

Here is a Medal for Distinguished Labour, type 1 being offered. I think it as best a later version on a fake suspension although the seller garantees that it is genuine. In a further post is a Valiant labour type 1, notice that the star isn't touching the top rim a sure sign of a converted later version. The seller also garantees that that medal is genuine.

Alexei please excuse the Distinguished Labour photo in the Valiant thread. As they are from the same person i thought i would be nice to compare the two together.

Here is the Valiant labour Medal i mentioned in the previous post clearly showing the space between the star and the rim.

Yes, indeed Eddie that are fakes.

A lot of faked triangle suspensions for the two labour medals and the
old foursquare suspension for the military merit and valour medal are
flooding e-... .

And some people specialise to sell military merit and valour medal in the
500 thousand range with faked foursquare suspension :banghead
And the worst thing is, there are enough bidder. Today one was sold for
around 75 USD. :angerr

Hi Andreas,

Yes seems things are going from bad to worse, I'm just going to post an Uschakov Medal from the same seller, also with his authentic garantee :angerr
Chances are you have seen all three of these Medals too.

Eddie.

eddie,

I agree, it's a clear cut fake with crude suspension.

Up for your viewing pleasure possible fake...
I personally don't like the suspension and uneven patine.
Any thoughts ?

We need a close-up of the serial number. On this medal, the "No" was struck with the medal (unlike on the BM or CSM). I can't see clearly enough on your photos.

I asked the seller for close ups, will see if he sends any.

I'm very positive that this is fake, but would like your opinion please...
