A Museum Copy of a Hero of Socialist Labour?

[VasOnARitz]

I found this HSL on eBay and because of the very low price, I don't believe it could be an original. I searched the number with warheroes.ru and there is no awardee matching the medal, so this makes me believe it was a copy, or maybe even an original which wasn't awarded.



It looks incredibly high quality, but I'm unsure if it could be a real or a copy for museum use, or maybe a scam on which one would receive a cheap Chinese copy. The numbers seem to match its variation on mondvor.narod.ru and it seems like a good make, and not a cheap cast.

Ebay + cheap = usually too good to be true.
And I wonder when people start to realise this?! Guess it is that drive to find this rare item for no money and feel lucky about it. Guess in the lotery there are equal chances of being lucky.

This one is very close, serialnumber-wise. You can compare: Group of Awards to a Hero of Socialist Labor #14758
