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

re: Gold-plated medals..Old question - no answers?
You can definitely tell the difference between the ones an individual decides to turn gold (paint?) and the ones from a factory. At least you got the document out of the deal and still have an "unusual" medal for your collection.:)

Ph3s,
The name is :thumbsup:thumbsup Would you mind posting some detailed scans of the medal. From what I can see, it was apparently gulded after the enamel was applied. Alexei |

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.:)
