ORDER OF PATRIOTIC WAR II CLASS Suspension Type QUESTION

[brian1941]

Just recently purchased the Order of Patriotic War II class suspension type variation. Can any experts or long time collectors of soviet orders/medals share their opinions on authenticity. Real, fake, partially authentic (maybe suspension is a replacement?). All your help is much appreciated! Thank you

I'm not an expert but I don't see anything that stands out as being bad here.

Hello, Brian1941

IMHO, I am in doubt... The screw plate is not from such OPW2. The hanging device is questionable by these photos. And finally the order it self. I don't like the sabre guard - too thin.

I don't mention the enamel repair. This might not be a problem depending on your collection criteria. I usually don't mind f.ex. if the research is good.

IMHO of course. Maybe someone else have an opinion.

Thank you I had doubts about the screw plate myself. Could be from suspension bravery medal? And yes, it looks like the enamel on two rays were replaced
