Re: Finally!!! An ebay HSU Type 2, real or fake??

You ain't gonna believe this, but the HSU sold for $4550 with 12 bidders and 17 bids. I couldn't resist and contact the previous winning bidder and this is what he had to say:

Dear geroicccp,

I spotted a "copy" medal with the same serial number before I paid for it. Offered to pay to have it authenticated. He refused. No deal was made.

*************************************************

And so that is why this HSU was relisted. I wonder if the new winner is bright enough to figure out that he got a fake?! I expect to see this medal again on ebay!

Well, he will earn an other $700 if the winning bidder will send it back!

Re: Fake Hero of the Soviet Union Medals

Marco,

Some excellent copies existed even before 1991.
