Fake Medals "For Combat Merits"

Got this today. I read the treads and I think this is OK but still would like opinions.
Thanks
Stan

Nice looking piece! On the original suspension?

BTW, those first two images were very well taken. Would that everybody around here could do that. ;)

Here's another of my bargain basement gongs (I pick these things up if the price is right, around 5 quid if memory serves), any idea if it's good or not, I think it is:

CSM with FAKE serial number

This is a real, post-war CSM to which some shmo added a serial number to increase its individual value or round out a set with a missing CSM.
