2 Russian Front Campaign medals

[TP Alexander]

I picked up 2 Russian Fronts, on the cheap, so if they are fake, it's not a big deal. I can hand them out as presents to freinds that have told me that they want something representative of the TR but have told me that they'd rather have something fake so as to not invest a lot of money, so if I could get something fake, they wouldn't mind. For what I paid for these, I could give them to them wether they are fake or not. I'd like to be able to tell them if they are real or not. Did the fake makers ever reproduce these since they are not big money? I mean, it would take X amount of dollars to make repros of these and if they ain't gonna' make the big money, why bother??
Thanx,
Tim

Well, I would like to see better pics. Common enough medal that one would not think faked but they are more than most belive.

Can you post better, closer pics? Looking at the reverse of the example on the right, it looks like a cast fake.

I looked at the iridescent ribbon and compared it to mine & decided that I didn't like it, so I didn't bother with it anymore.
Just to practice my photography, I took more pictures of others.
Here is what I got. I just ain't that good at taking pics.

Long ribbon.

Much better! Both look orginal to me. Would the either of the rings be numbered?

I tried looking to see if they were numbered or not and I couldn't find anything using a magifying glass, but also the truth is is that my eyesight isn't really up to snuff when looking for extremely miniscule things. And as we all know, my photography is about as good as North Korea's diplomatic skills!!
Thanx to everyone for their help.
