Fake Partisan Medals

'Golden' Partisan medal on e@@y, a very sandy looking surface. A cast copy?
I take it 'golden' refers to a 2nd class

I'm not an expert but i don't like it, overall details, ring looks a little high weld, and surface looks cast.
Lets see what our experts have to say ??

No way. The medal has acne

What's wrong with that? Stalin had chicken (or some other) pox, highly contagious, spread to the entire medal?

I agree, the medallion is remarkably bad. Even with my limited experience I've seen much better fakes.

Damn near looks like a sand casting; no appreciable detail to speak of, especially where Lenin is concerned. I'd pass.

Greg,

I believe it is a cast copy.

looking to get this one, but as always not without experts approval

Based on these scans I don't see any problems, but I would like to see more detailed scans of the medallion, both sides.

I end up purchasing that medal and here are some more closer scans.
Somethings wrong with my scanner the contrast is a bit too high.

NEXORCIST,

Looks good, but you are making me guess again

Please post some better scans.
