Rogi Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 No wonder! The quality is very high. Try to imagine how they would look in silver Did they use the mold from the actual orders? Silver would be.......scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Why would there be maker marks on the backs of props made only to be seen from the obverse? I think that some of these are unfinished(missing hand engraved SNs) fakes meant to be sold as real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Why would there be maker marks on the backs of props made only to be seen from the obverse? So anyone can check at any time if this is a real award or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that some of these are unfinished(missing hand engraved SNs) fakes meant to be sold as real? To make them more "real" and distinguish them from the real orders some of the fakes now a days have a serial, that keeps repeating itself for each award that is minted. so you have for example a billion 112456 (just an example) that you know isn't real because if you run the number off google or do research for it, it may come back as an incorrect order or medal.

Rogi Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) When I look at the piece from post #11 I start to think that they might We had something similar in Serbian orders and medals, the molds ended up being sold privately and then some fake guy caught hold of them :S Edited July 29, 2013 by Rogi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
