Re: Medal for Gallantry
I've seen fakes of many of the Soviet period Afghanistan awards. Quality varies greatly. Some are being made in the Russian Federation supposedly to be awarded by "organisations" to veterans. Then you have some really poor cast bits and then the goodies from the "Baltic Mint".
The same caution should be taken with all awards from all nations and time periods. The fakers can often be so on the ball that fakes of awards surface before the real ones have actually been issued.

Re: Medal for Gallantry
It's the copy you asked for. Someone has paid $46 for one. $4.6 is too much...

Re: Medal for Gallantry
Afghan awards usually fetch such -and higher- prices.
