My Defense medals.

[Philippe]

Hi,
Although these medals have existed, I always had doubts about the medal numbered ..... because it's too easy to do.
But all the medals is nice.
Regards.

I think they are good. I bought at the same price that unnumbered.

Hi David,
I think it's not a price, but a copy too easy to make and I did not venture to buy such a piece, because I too doubt unless ...... that this medal is given to me by a veteran.
Regards.

The medal defense of the Caucasus is from a veteran, he sold the document before , bad luck!!!
the defense of Leningrad was bought by a friend at a market in Latvia.
Best regards.

I am curious if the stamped numbers correspond to the certificate number, and wondering if it would it be possible to research based on the names of the recipients? Marvellous collection, by the way!
