Soviet Rail/Train Plaques.
Hello fellow members,
I recently bought a soviet railroad metal plaque (very similar to the one depicted here, but it is not the one). When I opened the box, I imediately noticed it was very different from another plaque I own and which I know is genuine. The new plaque seems to have "'air bubbles" in the metal, the surface is not smooth, but more rough, the writing is very blurry (instead of crisp) as well as the details that are not sharp at all. I get the feeling this is a low-quality cast-copy of a real plaque. My question is, was there such "low-quality" plaques in used or this is definitely a fake done recently to deceive? I am sorry not to have a pic at the moment. I will get some and post them on the forum tomorrow hopefully. Thanks for your comments! |
