I believe it's perfectly genuine. Alexei |

I have been collecting badges along side orders and medals since I began, and have recently become interested in this type of badge. From what I can see, and from what has been said in this forum, there doesn't seem to be too much interest (at least to date) in forging these. Am I correct in thinking this?

These badges, although not costing thousands, are somewhat valuable. As such, it is a profitable endeavor to forge them. Remember that they forge things costing far less than these are worth... I have seen a few fakes of these here in St Petersburg. Marc |

Thanks, Marc. In the near future, I may post a couple of images to "run by you" prior to purchasing to get your opinion.

The insignia has the line for the number, the number is missing. |

The line is exectly where the number should be, but not the srewback. There was NO screwback in this variation. Earlier variations - YES. The badge is original. However, the screwback is home made. Maybe the attachment ring was broken, or other reason. |

So little chance the awardee broke his suspension and improvised a repair? (or prefered it that way)
