rocketscientist #277 Posted February 28, 2015 Another medal for assessment of originality... This time a Partisan of the GPW, first class in silver, apparently a Variant 2 according to Mondvor. If I compare this medal to the sure original shown on Mondvor site, I notice some differences in the letters of the avers, for instance the first "O" and the "ч" of ОтечеÑтвенной, as well as the last letters of the word "войны", which seem larger than normal, but this could be flattening due to wear. Thank you for leaving your comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SergioV #281 Posted July 27, 2015 Rocket for me is original, but a i am not an expert anyway i need some help for this badge, original od copy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rocketscientist #282 Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks Sergio, your words are encouraging, but I still have some doubts on that partisan medal. I see some difference in the lettering of the obverse which make me nervous. Your badge is very nice, and looks convincing. I am not an expert on these, I have no idea whether it would be worth being faked. However, I like its patina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
