Hello once again,

I am looking for information on whether these are original Defense of Leningrad medals. I posted them both together.

Any help would be appreciated.

Andreas,

Thank you for the tip. I wasn't sure what I needed to show with the pictures. I will take your advice and focus more on the medal itself. I have a bunch more that I would like to post on this forum.

Dean

Ferdinand,

My mistake, thank you for the forum link. I have a bunch more that I would like an expert opinion on.

Dean

muckaroon1960 and Ferdinand,

I have looked up this medal on the Soviet-awards website and looked real to me. I wanted a second opinion from others who have more experience with these medals. Thanks for your help.

Dean

Komandir RKKA,

Thank you very much for your help.

Dean

Rick,

Thanks for taking a look at this ribbon bar. I certainly learned something new from your analysis and this whole thread.

Rick,

The catch looks stamped as you said. It does not appear to be glued or soldered, but stamped or punched out. I included the pictures below.

After removing backing

Dan,

It looks like a WWI wound badge. But I quess it is actually a post-war or 57er. Darrell posted information after me. So much for my first try at trying to contribute something meaningful from my limited knowledge.

Dean

Kevin,

It sure does have a "Bling-Bling" look. I agree, it looks like it should be a keychain. I thought I would post it just to make sure. Thanks.

Hello to all!

I got this medal a few years ago also.

Hello to all!

I am looking for information on this medal. It was labeled as Cossack Medal of Archangel, Michael for Excellency when I got it. The medal and ribbon look new.

I am looking for when it was issued, why it was issued and if it is a copy (which I think it is).

Any help would be appreciated.
