    Exclamation Russian Front Winter War medal and Mother's Cross in Silver: Authentic pieces?

    Hey, all. I compared this russian front medal with some other authentic examples and I think it's good but I'm not sure. The mother's cross in silver is supposedly "guaranteed authentic" and can be returned but it's being sold by a dealer I am a just a bit skeptical of...he seems to have a mix of good and bad stuff but gurantee it all authentic. He emailed me only these two pictures but I am going to try to get some more of it. What do you think?



    Much appreciated!

    Best,
    Adam

    I think both medals look good. I like the bubbling to the finish on the Ost medal. The Mutter Kreuz looks like an original however I believe the ribbon could be a repro. The outer white stripe looks wider than the inner, they should be the same width from my experience.

    I would agree with Adrian's observations.
