rocketscientist Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Second fake Sevastopol, with strange ring. They say it is a cast copy. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-5691-0-32666400-1381084615.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-5691-0-66250000-1381084639.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-5691-0-75515600-1381084647.jpg
JapanX Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Yep, looks like cast (check out this bubbles on т, п, л, я in Севастополь )
rocketscientist Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Yes, you are perfectly right, Nick! The obverse clearly shows evidence of casting.
rocketscientist Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Bravery Medal to the bravery of fakers. Possibly even the medal is fake silver.
JapanX Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Check out this perfect geometry of screw! Beautiful patina on quadro!
rocketscientist Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Possibly an original Bravery medal with repro suspension.
rocketscientist Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Thank you Nick. But do you think the medal is also congruent with the serial number? If I compare with the typology Mondvor associates to this serial number, I find a significant difference on the skirt above the left track, that is also different from version T1.3. Another information: my medal is 2.36mm thick at the edge (2.76max along a diameter).
JapanX Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Yep. Skirt above the left track... And what do you think about this letter З (its lower part ) And what is it on the top of the turret?! Red lacquer?! (I thought it is glare ) Alarming?! Please post hq scans (or photos) of obverse and reverse under right angle (please don't compress scans before posting - these days GMIC compress them automatically)
rocketscientist Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 The medal does not seem a full fake, but certainly has been somehow "renovated". The red spot above the turret is laquer, I think the the one in the letters has been added in the "makeup" process the medal underwent before being sold... to me.
rocketscientist Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 I do not understand the criteria used by GMIC uploader in resizing the images. For better assessment of the details I am cutting the picture in smaller pieces, hoping it works.
JapanX Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Nothing to worry about dear Sergio. This medal is original. As soon as I'll be back on stationary comp I post medals with same "fat" track from 115, 116, 231 and 318 thousands ;)
JapanX Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Here they are. # 232259 Edited October 14, 2013 by JapanX
rocketscientist Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Quite an interesting sequence of beauties, Nick! Thank you so much for posting them. Concerning the last medal of yours, the one with serial in the range 231xxx, I notice a different font used for the digits, look at the "2" and "3". Your Medal #232259 looks much more similar. On the other end, punching of my first bravery (n.90872) seems definitely incorrect. Edited October 14, 2013 by rocketscientist
JapanX Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I beg you, please don't start me with these punching
rocketscientist Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I beg you, please don't start me with these punching well, of course! Edited October 14, 2013 by rocketscientist
rocketscientist Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Another non-orthodox Sevastopol... ...of mine! http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-5691-0-37717400-1382043200.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-5691-0-32064300-1382043225.jpg http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-5691-0-58593800-1382043251.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_10_2013/post-5691-0-69402500-1382043298.jpg
