Thanks, glad someone other than myself actually enjoys it.

Nice collection you've got there!

Have any of them been researched?

The "ribbon" on your Stalingrad medal is interesting... why green with red stripe instead of the white w red stripe?

Unfortunately not.
The only thing I can think of is that the "white" on the Soviet medals are never really white, either light grey, green or blue, in my experience.

Here is mine. You're right, not pure white... but certainly not green.

Too me it is light green, remember the medal bar has plastic ribbons and not material. Maybe they got the colour wrong??

[GIZMO8Z]

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was plastic or enamel, so that's why I said: "ribbon"

Looks like your Leningrad medal has a green ribbon, too... I don't think either of the medals in your collection are fake... just an interesting variation!

Here are the two Leningrad medals I've had in my collection.

Joe, it'e highly possible that your ribbon is more faded than mine. Look at how this one faded over time. Nothing like it should be.
