The reverse:

I think it's good, especially given the match between the V2 suspension ring and the bifurcation of the sun rays. Although I have one exception to this in my collection, they generally seem flat on soldered rings and bifurcated on the cast ring.

Auke,

I don't see anything alarming here. I think that you have a nice, original, inverted U shaped Prague medal.

Many thanks!

Ciao a tutti!

I want to show you my newly received soviet medal: a Liberation of Warsaw. Looks good to me, and the seller seemed serious.
I will standby for your comments, thank you!

RocketScientist,

At first look it seems to be OK, but what is the white patch on the reverse near the ring? Can you weigh the medallion alone?

Thank you Lapa.
I made a detailed scan over the suspicious area. There is some corrosion in the area near the ring, please have a look.
About weighing the medal, I need some time to get organized, I will come back soon on this point.

cheers,

RocketScientist,

Thanks for the new scan. I believe that you have a nice "Voenkomat" issue of this medal

I have tried to weigh the medal with 1g resolution scale. The entire medal is about 28g, the medallion alone might be 17-18g. Does it make sense?

cheers,

I've got weights on 22 Warsaws of that variation, all spanning between 16.7g and 17.7g. Your weight looks good.
