Fake Parachutist Badges.

For some time now I've been trying to put together a set of the three early parachutist badges, as illustrated on page 432 of AVERS 8. Well, I finally succeeded and I just wanted to share my joy with you all with the photo below.

I have managed to amass a small collection of these badges, e.g., 2 x M1931-36, 1 x M1936.a, and 9 x M1936.b. The M1936.b badges are hallmarked with various common manufacturers' marks, such as КПМ, ЗСЗ, Pobeda, etc. However, I've recently obtained an M1936.b badge that is marked "MADE IN USSR" in incuse relief???? Was this run of badges made for export? If so, why and to where? If anyone can shed any light on this badge I would be most grateful. As always, I welcome any comments.

Thanks guys & best regards,

Jim
