Some doubts with Soviet Bravery Medal

[zeritross]

Good afternoon guys.

Few months ago I bougth another medal for my collection, in Latvia. I purchased a soviet medal for Bravery numbered as "1879414". I noticed that handler is missing and because of that, one of their old owner made a hole for the ring. I was checking the place where handler should be welded, and exactly that area look sharp, like it was removed or it was lost. I was thinking about a fake medal but:

-Measures and weight looks correct

-Typography and colour also, looks original; with all relief (tank and planes).

-Why to try to "repair" a medal if it is fake?

Anyways I would like to get your feedback guys. Thanks a lot in advance
