The Partisan medal, 1st class

[Noor]

Hi all,

I have one nice Partisan medal 1st class and I would like to hear some opinions about that, before I post it up for a sale.

To me;

- Ring is soldered as must be
- Medal details shows some wear but are nice and sharp
- Ribbon on the plate looks like period one and not "glow" under black light
- Medal is nice and heavy, looks like silver piece like should be

[Noor]

So, all other opinions would be mucb appriciated!!!!

Not one for me I'm afraid.

Not for me either, the ring looks thick and clumsy. Further, the alignment of the text seems off; if you look at PARTIZANY, the letters are further off the edge of the coin as the letters VOINY. Finally, I would not take the ribbon nor the suspension device as any type of evidence for authenticity - a ribbon is changed in less than 20 seconds and authentic such are for sure available in quantities.

Thanks guys to clear it out.
