Soviet A complete POC?

[Stogieman]

I will allow your imagination to infer what I meant by "POC"

[Stogieman]

More of the same.....

[Stogieman]

More.....

To my eyes it looks too "soft" and indistinct to originals I have studied so far...

[Stogieman]

and another shot......

[Stogieman]

It was the last photo that really made me say YUCK!

Are you referring to the medal being"soft" in detail? The missing enamel doesn't help.

I've NEVER seen a 1938 "Jubilee" Medal award book that never had a photo and was not signed.

The serial numbered screw disk does NOT match (perhaps just as well) the serial number in the book.

The suspension ring on the medal has been clipped, meaning that it was moved to a M1943 suspension and this has been "retro-fitted."

[Stogieman]

So my best guess would be a total sham here... I just don't think the detail and crispness of this medal, especially the reverse, is consistent with an original. At best, a terribly worn, terribly messed with piece. As my cousin in France would say... "Not in my collection"

[Riley1965]

Gotcha!! I see what you mean. Not in my collection either.
