    The problem is that next owner of these beauties can try to sell them as originals ...

    Yes. The new owner can tell. These medals have thickness more than 3 mm and weight is nearly 20 grams or more. The new buyer will take away difference in the image. Real medal of the Constitution of very thin 1,87-1,9 mm. The medal with a ring and without a tape weighs 11 grams.

    Excuse for my English.
    I wanted to tell.
    Yes. I totally agree with these words (полностью согласен с этими словами): "The problem is that next owner of these beauties can try to sell them as originals .."

    I do not buy these medals! Боже упаси!
    I live in Rostov-on-Don. Copies of these medals do in Stavropol. About 330 km. They were brought to our city club of collectors. I held them in my hands. I know a man who makes them. He sells them only as a copy.

    It seems that the same manufacturers that made the fake 2nd class rising sun, now faked the paulonian flowers breast star:

    It isn't bad, it would be a good piece for people that Re-enact :D Although price seems, HUGE

    Oh, come on. Maybe for someone that never handled any order in his life the quality would be acceptable. But compared to the original this (luckily) is garbage. As the thread says "slowly and not expertly"

    Pictures, guys.

    You always forget the pictures :rolleyes:

    Well, to be honest I was too lazy and I thought that you would do it, once you'd see the topic. :P

    Seems I was right.

    The second one is just hilarious. It was offered on YJ a short while ago, if remember correctly. I wonder what they did to the reverse...
