I cannot say much concerning these badges. I only collect the silveren or copper that is made of several components or with a manufacturer mark. I suspect that these no marks have on the back

Unfortunately it's quite rare, and I was lucky to buy one for a cool $200.

thanks you, Alexei
If you see once a book and it payable, then I hope that you do not forget me.
Thank you

Esteban,

They are being faked. I am not sure about the first three, but I don't like the other two. Can you post pictures of the back with the screwplates removed, please.

Esteban,

I'm pretty sure these badges are not genuine. Take a look at this thread, I dissect some rhomb (diamond) badges for comparison: http://www.soviet-awards.com/forum/s...on-badges.html

The white academy badges, with or without the plate, are available in huge amounts in the baltic states. There is one type that is totally flat, I am personally convinced those are fakes. Then there is another type of those which have a higher quality, better shape and has that slight "rounding". I am not sure about them - but on the other hand - those are more expensive than the first mentioned ones. Perhaps 80s overstock?

Thanks to Alexei, ibaya and Tretov for your help.
I wanted to purchase this set, but now I know I would be losing my cash again on E. Thanks again:thumbsup

Now, what´s the price range for this same type of romb badges(blue and white without scroll), but genuine?

Hello to all,

I don't know anything about Soviet school badges, but need one for a Hungarian general's uniform. Please be so kind to help me, what are your thoughts about this one:

Thanks and regards from Hungary, Sandor Molnar

Sandor,

For the look of it, it is 1970's type of manufacture, and it is NOT for university graduation (should have a white background), but for lower level.

I'm under the impression that that badge was for holders of university-level diplomas (similar color scheme to the tsarist university badge). This should not be confused with the badges for higher-level military education academies (equivalent to masters/doctorate-level), such as the one below.
