I don't like it - for starters weak reverse letters, yet no true "wear". Are those casting marks at 3 and 4 o'clock on the reverse edge?

Though I'am new to collecting Soviet orders I'am not new to collecting medals. I can say with confidence that this is a fake, with very bad casting...

 just to test and to share a little…I’m (almost) sure it’s genuine as I bought it from a very reputate dealer and it seems OK to me. Just to confirm that measures may vary…perhaps instruments are not accurate or who has taken‘em was not accurate! anyway it was funny  Weight was taken with medal detached from its suspension (connection ring was cut). Weight: 17,30gr. +/-0,02gr. Diameter: 32,18mm +/-0,02mm Thickness on the rim: 2,73mm +/-0,01mm Thickness on the centre (raised words) : 3,00mm Thickness of the ring (upper centre zone) : 1,45mm Two photos of front and rear…trying to have the best contrast and more visible raised lettering as possible (with a sucker camera as my own is). Any comment is appreciate, thanks! |

T-34,
It looks OK to me. Let's wait for Alexei's opinion though. Marc |

Here is mine. Recently purchased. I had no previous knowledge of this medal, and still I do not have a big experience. Your comments are, as usual, very much appreciated.
Thanks |
