Fake Restoration, Construction and Development Medals
Whats your opinion of my Medal for Restoration of the Black Metallurgical Enterprises? I bought it yesterday for a nice price. Its approximately 3,1mm thick and 32,2mm in diameter. My first reaction was that the ring wasn't in center above the hammer and sickle (back). And that the ring wasn't perfectly round.
Your help is appreciated! /Anton, Sweden Last edited by Kievzor; 11-23-2007 at 03:45 AM. |

Kievzor,
When you ask for help determinig authenticity, please post large, hi-res scans. On postage stamp size pictures, it is difficult to say much. Anyway, I don't like the look of it, especially the reverse; feels like a cast fake. The ring is also not very appealing. Marc |

Kievzor,
I have to agree with Marc - most likely the medal is bad, but better pictures are needed. Alexei |

Guys, what are you thoughts on this one? Sorry, the photo of the back is too large for my upload limit.

Kievzor,
I am sorry, but I need to see at least something like this. Also please compare the H&S on the reverse of this one with yours, especially the tip of the blade. Alexei |

Construction of the Baikal-Amur railroad
Hello,
I was wondering if there are (good quality) fakes of the Baikal-Amur railroad medal? There's one on an auction site going dirt cheap with a Veteran of the Soviet Armed Forces, Combat Service and random medals with wrong ribbons. Just wondering if the seller is ignorant of the medal's value or pulling my leg? Greets, Stah |

Medal for Development of Virgin Lands
These are the best pics I can get at the moment. Thoughts on this one:confused: Could this be a variation 2 because of the ring?

Re: Medal for Development of Virgin Lands
Brendan,
That is definitely a Type 1, if genuine (which I can't tell from these pictures). Marc |
