Soviet Another one For Bravery...This look more OK
Alfred replied to hipnos's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
A little bit late. The medal itself looks okay to me. Due to the low serial number it has a little square suspension. But better pictures of the suspension are needed to say something about originality. regards Andreas -
Fake Soviet Defense medal - Odessa
Alfred replied to Signalcorps45's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Looks like a casted fake to me. Look at the letter H reverse in the word "HAWY". The letter H is much weaker than the other letters and no signs of wear. The weak H is a cast problem, you can see it on a lot of copy´s. The soldered ring looks bad.The rim of the medal looks sharp and uneven. It´s one of the lower quality fakes. To judge this high end medals and to give a consistently answer you need at least this quality of pics to recognize a good fake. best regards Andreas -

Alfred replied to Signalcorps45's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Looks like a casted fake to me. Less detailes in the leaves conmpared to an original one. Sharp edges on the medal rim. The soldered ring is a give a way. regrads Andreas -

Soviet Soviet Defense medal - Stalingrad
Alfred replied to Signalcorps45's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Looks like a heavy used Stalingrad medal, maybe ground dug. As a general rule, all soviet city medals with separate soldered rings are produced between the year 1944 and 1948. regards Andreasa -
Soviet Soviet Defense medals - Leningrad
Alfred replied to Signalcorps45's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
I like what I see. Where does the wall on your medal ends? There is a rarer variation with short walls produced 1944 and a more common version produced 1945-48 with a long wall. On the pictures you can see the difference. Long wall goes to the rim of the medal and the short wall ends at the letters. best vregards Andreas -
Soviet Soviet Defense medal - Caucasus
Alfred replied to Signalcorps45's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
I like your Caucasus medal. Looks good. I added a big picture of a fake medal (casted). All soviet medals are coined not casted. Compare the ornaments with a original one. best regards Andreas -
Soviet Capture of Vienna medal
Alfred replied to Signalcorps45's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
Hello Dean, you can post the pictures here and on the other forum. A little remark. If you post pictures, make them as big as possible. In most cases the suspension and the ribbon is not very interesting. Use the free space for bigger pictures of the medal itself. best regards Andreas -

Soviet Liberation of Belgrade
Alfred replied to sebastian's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
I don´t like the medal. The ring is a give-away. The upper star (12o´´clock) is disturbed and so on. I my oppinion a fake. Better pictures are always welcome. regards Andreas -

Soviet Help with Order of the Red Banner

It´s a fake. Wrong reverse for this serial number. Have a look at the crude torch. Here is a real torch in this serial number range to compare. regards Andreas -
