brian1941 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Just recently purchased the Order of Patriotic War II class suspension type variation. Can any experts or long time collectors of soviet orders/medals share their opinions on authenticity. Real, fake, partially authentic (maybe suspension is a replacement?). All your help is much appreciated! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Gaumann Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm not an expert but I don't see anything that stands out as being bad here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egorka Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Hello, Brian1941 IMHO, I am in doubt... The screw plate is not from such OPW2. The hanging device is questionable by these photos. And finally the order it self. I don't like the sabre guard - too thin. I don't mention the enamel repair. This might not be a problem depending on your collection criteria. I usually don't mind f.ex. if the research is good. IMHO of course. Maybe someone else have an opinion. Edited March 28, 2017 by Egorka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, it looks like the enamel on two rays were replaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
