Soviet Need help with this OGPW1

Please re-read my post carefully And you will see that I wrote that the star is made in gold. But the rifle and saber are painted (actually oxidized). Traces of this oxidization on reverse you are calling "dark metal". If you are so suspicious simply make a deep scratch on this "dark metal" and you will see gold under P.S. The weight of rear gold star actually varies between 9 g (min) and 15 g (max). -

Well it looks ok to me. Type 2, variation 2.... The star looks like correct gold one (it should weight around 15 g) As for discoloration - I think this is spreaded silver paint from rifle and saber Another argument for gold - this silver paint completely gone from bottom part of rifle butt and we can see gold ...

You said it mate! Even rising sun! Not to mention non-Christians Russians ... Cheers, Nick

Did you noticed that base of this breast star is looking very much alike breast star from Ivanovo Museum? (see post # 28 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/53054-russians-and-their-lions/page__st__20) Nick -
