Medal for Courage #865786 Need veryfiyng!

[JoseJ]

Hello!
After 3 months I've finally got my hands on Medal for courage in decent price ,but I've notice something weird about the size of my newly purchased medal.
It's bigger than my merit in battle and liberation of Warsaw also the serial number is slightly tilted which I can be is just work made in hurry or just a normal worker stamping it wrong.
It might be just a brain that makes up red flags here but I can never be sure so this is why I'm posting it here.









That's the photo from auction.

it looks bad too me. First, the soldered ring, looks clumsy. Second, the "7" on reverse is wrong. see attached photos.

Yes indeed I haven't noticed it.Damn I guess I bought myself a fake.

Hi JoseJ,

First: the size. It must be bigger than a combat merit medal or other soviet campaign medals, so don't worry i think the diameter is 37 mm.

Second: serial number. I don't see anything odd with it. The ribbon and suspension bar looks good too, they seem original and native to the medal.

In my opinion, it's a genuine medal with a nice worn look. They are quite common, i don't see the point in making a fake as good as your medal.

Anyway, i'm no expert. Please wait for other opinions, it's plenty of really expert collectors here

Best regards

Gabriele

Perfectly fine original worn Bravery medal!

the guys above have more experience than me, so you may have a good medal maybe the "7" were stamped that way up until a certain range.

There are several different styles of numbers throughout the years. And serial numbers not stamped straight is also very common. So nothing to worry about this

I think, this is a good medal with original hanging device and ribbon.
