Signalcorps45 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 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. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev in Deva Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) I believe this is one of a series of modern commemorative medals being churned out in Russia at the moment. Private purchase with no official backing. Falls into the "Bling-Bling" section. Many of these items would look better on a key chain especially judging by there "quality".

Signalcorps45 Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 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. Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsarenko1975 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Hi, Gents! This medal is non-government medal (of Reserve Cossack Army=резервное казачье войско). See www.cossac-awards.narod.ru Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
