Real or fake nakhimov medal?

[Matthijs712]

hi all

I saw this nakhimov medal for sale, and I was wondering what you think about it. the seller does not know what he is selling, so it could be a replica or an original. based on what i see on the internet i think it is a replica. but what do you think? thanks,

It seems to be a replica. On a previous post, one mentioned the small details that all Nakhimov medals have. This is an example from mondvor.narod.ru



I have circled the details. On the cap, there is a noted dent on the visors rim, and there is a small dot under the epaulette.
There may be different opinions, however.

Many fakes of these out there.
Better pictures are required.
Here's a link to help:

It is a fake. This one has the missing dimple on the cap and the missing extra circle on the collar as shown by VasOnARitz. Plus, even though the very bad pic (why make such bad pics when trying to sell a high end item???) the reverse is also the missing the little feature inside the 3 o'clock chainlink. So this one is a fake.

Finally found the link again. This one will show exactly the differences between a fake and the real deal:
