Sorry, but I really don't like that Stalingrad Medal.

Hi Auke, a known fake?

Tom,
Your Stalingrad medal in the bar is original but heavily worn.

Medal for Victory over Germany with award booklet. For example this booklet signed by Commander of 319 Rifle Regiment:
Soviet Russian Medal for Victory over Germany Document on eBay (end time 12-Jul-11 18:00:11 BST)

Hi Auke, a known fake?
Tom

Sorry, I don't understand? I haven't seen this bar before it that's what you mean?

[StuG III]

Sorry, but I really don't like that Stalingrad Medal.

You said you don't like my Stalingrad medal....I asked whether is a common fake or reproduction?

Tom,
What do you mean using word "reproduction"?

[Auke]

Tom, what's the difference? If you mean that a fake is meant to deceive while a reproduction isn't, then I'm not aware of any reproductions of this medal (the Kapral company used to manufacture copies / reproductions but I'm not sure they also produced Stalingrad Medals and I believe they closed some time ago?), but there are a lot of fake Stalingrad Medals out there.

[StuG III]

Auke, simply trying to find out into which category you would place this medal of mine that you do not like.
As you say, repros are just that, repros, but fakes are made to deceive. Not really knowing the difference between these two types, I asked.

Bar with order of Glory sold.

Tom, for Soviet medals without serial numbers and made not from silver difference between fakes and reproductions is almost absent. Nobody be sure with what intentions the piece is made.

Thank you Sergey.
