re: All Other Medals

Hello Nota Bene,


Sorry I was not specific, I wrote in this section as I did find the medal suspicious because I could not find one that looked just like it. I will make sure to state my authenticity concerns more clearly next time.

re: All Other Medals

David,

Got it! It's a genuine piece, don't worry about it. I believe there are 20+ variations of this medal.

Re: All Other Medals

Welcome. Yes, they and the documents are real. They were awarded for doing well in an annnual labor competition.

Re: All Other Medals

Thanks desantnik and can you say if this is real too?
I have bought this labour medal for 5 US dollars.
But is it real? the white in the suspension is almost grey and 5 dollars for a medal is too cheap.

Regards

Re: All Other Medals

Hello and welcome.
I doubt there are fakes of the Labor Vet's medals since they awarded around 10 million of them. And getting that and the award booklet for $5 is a good deal! :)
And the two Labor badges with cards to the same person are very very nice!
Very nice collection so far.

Re: All Other Medals

In fact there are over 39,197,100 of these medals awarded, making it the most awarded medal ever. I have seen these sell with booklet for less than 2 USD on eBay.

Re: All Other Medals

Maybe so, but most certainly not with this type of document. It is the scarcer variety, issued by the Presidium of a Soviet Republic :rolleyes:
