REGAL UNIFORMA COLECTOR Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 Heres my newest arivival..a late issue white metal, Zeal medal on a SS ribbon.28mm sizeNice condition.. GeorgeGeorge, Hard to tell from the photo, but what stands out to me is the pebble look to the surface, less detailing to the Czar NII bust, and the excess metal slag on the right bottom edge 5:00 o'clock between the letters and the metal edge. My gut feeling is that this piece is cast.

My gut feeling is that this piece is cast.George,Not all cast pieces are fake. Many Russian badges and medals made in China and Manchuria ( Harbin and Tien-Sing) during the civil war were made using a sand cast. Metals used were melted down Russian gold and silver coins as well as lead, copper and brass from bullets and coins. A collector really needs to examine cast made pieces for age and originality as well as determine the source of where it came from, Provenance (estate history) and geographical area.
