Lingqi Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) hi, guys! look at this strange KHALKIN GOL medal, is it a fake or a new variation?see the letter "I", it is not the " i ", and other details like the horse head was made crudely.

Vatjan Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi,The crude details and inferior enamel definitely make this a fake Moreover it is a fake I had not seen before, this makes the 3rd type of KhG fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I don't like it, not one bit. And a fairly crude fake!Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well, I haven't seen ANY fake Khalkin Gols before this one, so thanks for sharing it! The enamel is not thick enough to make the obverse smooth, and the area in the flag circled should be "sky" on a mirror-reverse type:[attachmentid=50168]It would also take real abuse to make the brightly silvered finish on one of these end up as the dull typical fakes bronze color.

Lingqi Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 This medal was offered to me for about USD$70 by a chinese dealer, I thought it is so cheap, but on the second thought, just in case, I ask dealer to send these detailed scans and realize it might be a fake becuae I never have seen any KhG fake before. We all need to be careful from now on. BTW, Vatjan, you metioned the other two types of KhG fake, do you have any scans of them? If not, would you just describe the differences? Thanks in advance!

Vatjan Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Here are the scans of the two other fakes I've seen. Sorry for the bad pix, I'll try to post better ones later.The shiny gold one is a "Capral" copy, the other one was one of the first Mongolian items I bought about 5 years ago. The funny thing is that later, at a fair, I saw 2 good ones and I was convinced they were fakes because, I had a GOOD one Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
