Re: Fake Guarding the State Border Medals

I think it is difficult to judge from this poor scan, but I hope that someone will try: this item went unsold at an auction in northern italy, about 2 months ago.
It gives me a bad impression, however I never saw this medal elsewhere than in photo.
Thank you
sergio

Re: Fake Guarding the State Border Medals

KDVR,

This medal does not look bad, but you need to post a full scan of both the front and back.
