Hi,

Please, I need some opinions about these medals below. Are they from GPW era? Are Kolodkas and reverse numbers originals from these medals too?

Hi Tom,

I know this site and forum and the Mondvor too, but I'm always confuse with these soo much medals, numbers and kolodkas diferent models. And my doubts are about the corrects configurations for each periode medal.

Ricardo, I don't understand the word "kolodkas"

I believe all medals to be original. The kolodkas (Russian word for suspension) are correct, except for the first one (Medal for Courage) and the last one (Medal for the Liberation of Prague). Up until the late 1940s these medals had brass or steel suspensions. These aluminum ones are replacements.

Hi Tom,

I'm talking about the pentagonal metalic suspension piece under ribbon.

Hi Auke,

Yes, It's was my doubt, seems to me too these aluminium kolodkas are a replacement pieces.
