Legit piece of Cold War historyBeen collecting East Bloc militaria for about 12 years now and this medal is the real deal. Ribbon is in solid shape, no fraying, and the hardware looks exactly like the reference photos in my Doehle catalog. Picked up two of these actually, one to display and one to keep bagged.
