Stogieman Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I thought you guys & gals might enjoy a peek at some pretty nasty Soviet Orders. ;>)
Stogieman Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 Go figure... need a second class? Why he has that one too!
Stogieman Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 Whoa, too "new"? How about a Type 1 20 Years of The People & Peasants Army"?
Stogieman Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 You just have to love the vaseline on the camera lens... just blurry enough, eh?
Bob Hunter Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Not being a Sino-Soviet collector, what makes these particularly bad, Rick?
Stogieman Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 Well, to start. The OPW2 looks like a cast hunk of lead on the back. I'm a novice, but I suspect everything now having been shown literally hundreds of fakes. I'm sure our more experienced members can give the point by point breakdown (please). I'll assume nobody likes them. But it would be helpful to get a blow-by-blow why they are bad! Thanks!
Stogieman Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Hmmmmmmm. No answers? No tell-tale clues? Was I wrong? Hmmmmmmmmm.??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
deptfordboy Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Hi, I am certainly a beginner in this field but I would be suspect of the 'patina' on the back of the OGPW1, which appears too oily and looks to have been applied chemically, they even splashed some on the edges of the brass suspension? But hey, what do I know as it seems to be going for big bucks right now...Cheers Gilbert
Stogieman Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 Well, somebody paid some high prices for bad pieces.... or they just won the deal of the year. I could not bring myself to bid. The pix/images were just to sloppy no matter how much I tried to see through them. I hope somebody didn't get burned too bad!
order_of_victory Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 I bought the 2nd class fake but had it checked out before I acctually took delivery and rejected the medal and the seller gave me real one in return. But seller has just tried to sell the 2nd class again recently When the auction closed I contacted the highest bidder and told him to reject the medal!
order_of_victory Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Sorry I didnt see the dates on the post I bought that 2nd class first time round in April 2005!
Stogieman Posted February 8, 2006 Author Posted February 8, 2006 This one's really cheesy. Worst enamel job I have seen yet!!
Ed_Haynes Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Oh, it only looks that way because it is a duplicate issue. See the number!When will they [the sheep] ever learn . . . . Edited February 8, 2006 by Ed_Haynes
