If possible, I would like to ask the experts if this medal for impeccable service and the document would be original.

I guess it is not a very valuable or very scarce medal. In fact, its sale price is about 20 dollars. It is a simple reward for continued service and not for a specific act, or for a specific campaign or battle….

Except for my mistake, the major who receives the medal and the document would have participated in the Great Patriotic War; and the medal should be silver, because it would have been awarded in 1962. The truth is that I dont distinguish a silver medal from a non-silver medal.

What do you think about the medal and the document? Do you think they are original and the medal silver? Maybe the major served in WWII?

Thanks in advance.
