UV-light is one way.

Yes, it's amazing what the two look like under "black light." The difference is so stark that it's literally impossible to miss when seen side by side.

here is mine, its not numbered but it came in a documented set with another one of these which was numbered (missing) and an order of the red star which i have. Tell me what you think, sorry for the bad light in the photos.

RedArmy2,

Nice, genuine, late-issue medal.

This is my combat medal. I know, the suspension is new, but what do you think, the number on the back of the medal can be original?

Looks good to me. I'd be willing to put $ on a wager that it was issued by the South Western Front.

Thank You for the valuable answer, but please tell me, how do you think the South Western Front?

Based information from a serial number data base I'm collecting. It's partially published in Echoes of War.
