Rommel1933

Hello everyone... been searching the forum on this type of medal. I recentely picked it up because it seemed like a good deal for such a pretty medal.

I have tried to research online but haven't found anything definitive. It appears this was made from 1868-1984. Is there anyway to get a feel for when this could have been manufactured?

Thank you!

Scott

Hello all.. Here is a medal bar with tailors label on back

Thank you, Scott

I agree that $50 was a little high.. I have been keeping on my watch list here in the States that has a buyitnow price of $40.00 and it has NEVER sold but it keeps getting relisted ..

Scott

I like it Tom.. been researching this medal and there isn't a lot out there!!!!!!!!!

Nice find..

Thank you,

Scott

Hello.. would you happen to have a picture of the edge??? This looks odd to me but I am not expert.. I just looked at mine and it appears to have more of a "stamped" look

The only thing I can tell you about lower priced items being faked is that a counterfeiter can get away longer with counterfeiting $5 bills than $100 bills...

Again, not saying yours is a fake but would love to see the edge.

just my two cents..

Thank you,

Scott

Hi Mark, no problem... BTW, in regards to cost I would say it is around $50 dollars. This has been listed on ebay for months now and keeps getting re-listed and they are asking $90.

wow! What a beautiful medal bar!

Hello all,

This is the Variation 2, Silver Plated Alloy, with 15 ribbons on the Seal.

I am looking to see what the forum thinks. I hope you can see in the pics. Of course online I can only see observe and back pics...

The other fun fact of this medal is that the observe is actually the side w the text. Many recipients altered to show the Seal of the Soviet Union side.... It looks like mine is either a reproduction or the original owner had it changed around.

Anyone got any comments?

Thank you,

Scott

I would like to see edge shots if available... thank you, scott

Nice looking one... Any Order of Patriotic War with maker mark raised is the 1985 version I believe..

Thank you, Scott

Thank you Ole and Alfred! I was away and unable to respond. Thank you for sharing your comments. Thank you, Scott

Thank you very much guys for the inputs.. I apologize for not thank you all sooner. I was away.

Thank you, Scott

Just wanted to share my Medal to Partisan of the Patriotic War. This is 1st and 2nd class..

I believe these are genuine. One even has a maker mark indicating "People's commissariat of local industry,plant "Molniya"

Hello TacHel,

Thank you for your information and comment. You are right on.. It will probably be years before I find something out on this one

Scott

Thank you Jim! Yes I have many Soviet Medals.. until now I really didnt have anyone to talk to them about!

Thank you, Scott

Hi Timo,

It is also a pleasure to see you as well!! You gave me a lot of keen insight on this medal. The thing is that I have never see another even close to this. I would think it's perhaps a reproduction of some sort but there are signs it is real too.

You are correct about this forum... I did a search on St. George Cross and there are a lot of folks on here into that award!!!!

I am also into other medals and such than the TR so this is going to be a great forum to be a part of!

I do believe everything you said it true. I just want to know if anyone else has seen this? I doubt I have a one of a kind St. George Cross. Does it make it worthless, etc?

Thank you,

Scott

Hello ya'all!

New member to this forum but not to collecting.. I am pleased to be here!

I have a question on what I think is a St George Cross. This was with some Czech Medals I purchased. They "supposedly" came from the same soldier named "Joseph Stransk." The Czech Medals all checked out to be WWII Allie types.. This Cross has my kind of stymied. I looked at the crosses in this forum and all seem to have serial #'s on them. On the back mine does say, "Class" in Czech but doesn't have anything stamped.. In fact I am so lost I can't even tell what color this is supposed to be? Any help or feedback would be most grateful!

Thank you,

Scott
