Soviet 3 Soviet medals genuine or fakes?

[militaria0815]

I got these 3 medals and I would like to know whether they are original awarded items and if so from what time period. Many thanks!

The first and the third order are Order of the Great Patriotric War Version 1985. They were awarded to veterans, participans and wounded of the WW II in the year 1985.

The second one is a Order of the Red Star. S/N 401.608 was awarded in 1944. (Great piece)

They are all genuine.

Although that will only apply to the red star!

If I recall correctly, EOW did not get into 1985 OGPW awards as these are all commemorative non combat awards awarded way after the war (1985 as the name implies!).

I would place that Red Star at November-December 1943 from the serial number range.
