Questionable Ostvolk medal 2nd class

[andrei1774]

Hi guys,
I saw this medal for sale on Internet.
From the first look, seems ok for the 3rd type (flat reverse, w/o rope).
But in my opinion, this one is a good made fake, using modern cast technology. It's close, but the metal is wrong, a lot small casting marks, soft details. Again, this is my feeling.
What you guys thinking about it ?
Thanks,
Andrei

I agree, looks cast to me too from these pictures.

Kind regards, Peter

Hi Andrei,

I'm not liking it either and the brooch pin is certainly bogus. But the ribbon looks convincing so perhaps that is original surplus stock.

Best regards,
Tom
