Ferdinand Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 No good. Looks like one of those pieces that are passed off as "Umalatova" medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noor Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thank you! That's a pity - I will try to get it back to the previous owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yes. Agreed. The details do not look sharp at all. Very dull looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Don't feel bad, I've been there and done it many times over the years regarding purchases. Some very good advice to all is to avoid partisan medals. Run to the hills away from them. Some fakes look so real that even posting them to experts isn't good enough. Years ago I was stung 2 times on these. : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 If they were that good, how could you tell the fakes to know you were stung? Is it a weight issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The details were very good but not good enough. Even with scans it was hard for even the best experts to give a 100%. They physically have to see it. So I sent one to an ultra expert and he said a well done fake. : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 ... avoid partisan medals. Run to the hills away from them. That's a good one! P.S. I wonder where I can get myself one personal ultra expert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) That's a good one! P.S. I wonder where I can get myself one personal ultra expert Better to save money than to get burnt. There are many who have gotten stung with fake partisan medals. Yes, I am VERY fortunate to have access to many ultra experts in Soviet awards. Two renowned ones in North America and many in Russia/Ukraine and then there's..............................................Marshall Aukeov. These people have not only helped me but many of us and I salute them to the nth degree for their expertise and help.
