Soviet Defense of Sevastopol Medal Question

[brian1941]

I recently purchased the Soviet Defense of Sevastopol Medal. Trying to authenticate it. I really don't want to hold on to a fake. Over the years there has been a lot of fakes going around (some are really good fakes and re-strikes) especially from Eastern Europe and former Soviet Republics. If there are any experts/knowledgeable people out there about this particular subject I would really appreciate your advice/suggestions. Thank you

It looks original, with replacement ribbon.  What says the rest of the staff?  Sorry it took a year and a half to get back to you... I hope you still have it.
