Hungarian Communist Medals

[Carl Christense]

Hi everyone,

I'm interested in putting together a display of Hungarian Communist Medals. I'm not sure where to start. A few questions I have that maybe you could help.

1) Are there a lot of fakes, what is commonly faked?

2) What's a reliable place to but them?

3) Are there any good reference books?

Thanks.

1) not really - there have been some cast examples of the more rare ones, complete with stories of "wearers copies". There is only one legitimate "wearers copy" that was made during the time and that was for the Spanish Civil War Volunteers medal.
2) Ebay is pretty good (I also have way to many if you need some)
3) I wrote one (in English) and there are some in Hungarian concerning awards and uniforms.
