Soviet Order of the Red Banner of Labour

[Kane]

Gidday All,

Am looking at making a purchase of this ORB of Labour. It is # 767762. Wondering what anyone thinks, is it fake etc.

Am fairly new at this.

Cheers,

Kane

Looks good to me

Same here, but if that is enamel damage on the red banner you may want to pass. Readily available from the reliable dealers!

I have not seen this medal progessionally faked as that vairation is a rather common one. However, what i have seen is a very crappy copy of it that has been going around sold as a repro. But I think the quality is indeed so bad that that a) its hard to mistake for an original and b) I doubt it has had any takers!

However if I can find it again I'll post pics of it on the "Fake orders and medals database" ( http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11742 )

Its original. But you should not pay more than 40-45 Dollar, as you get this variation readily available from a reputable dealer for 38 Dollar.
