Re: Fake Restoration, Construction and Development Medals
I've been looking to buy a Restoration of Black Metallurgy medal for some time, and found them pretty difficult to find. I saw this one for sale by a local dealer. I know the pictures are bad; they're all the seller sent. Granted, I'd usually just pass with such images but as I said, I've been looking for these some time.
Here's my take. The ring looks good as does the stippling on the reverse. I'm pretty confident of the (admittedly few) details that are in focus. The old suspension and frayed ribbon are circumstantial evidence, but strengthen my opinion of the medal's authenticity. So, what do you all think? Sorry again about the pictures, but I really want one of these medals! -Stah PS: Might be worth it to download the pictures for proper zooming... :) Last edited by Stahanov; 05-10-2010 at 08:30 AM. |

Stah,
It looks good to me. Oh, the next time that I have some fakes to unload, I'll make sure to hang them on old style suspensions with worn ribbons... :rolleyes: Marc |

Re: Fake Restoration, Construction and Development Medals
I like the pictures too! It's nice to see a seller go the extra mile and take his time to get the focus and lighting right.
