Gentlemen,
This looks like a standard issue 1975 Mine Clearing Badge: ... well, it's not. Look at the back of the suspension. These copies were made in the early 90s. I have also seen them with the "Made in..." erased, which of course left ugly marks on the back. Reverse of a legit badge: Last edited by CtahhR; 01-10-2014 at 11:15 AM. |

Here is the reverse of another. I believe it to be a restrike as it is quite different from the reverse posted by Alexei.

Danny,
Looks like it... Is it possible to see the back of the suspension? Alexei |

I've asked for more scans and got it. It is definitely a copy with the "Made in the USSR" mark on the back. To stay away from this one.
