Gentlemen,

Can someone tell me what you think of this Badge?
Is it good, or another fake?
What would be the average cost for such a Badge?
Thanks a lot.

Dolf,

I believe both badges are fakes, and there are enough examples in this thread explaining why. There is also a thread on fake Voroshilov marksman Badge.

Hi gentlemen, here are 3 otlcihnik badges. Could you give me please an opinion about them (I have doubts about 2 of them, and I think the driver badge is a late 40' genuine one). Thanks! sebastien

Charlet,

All three look OK to me.

OK Alexei, thanks! just one subsidiary question: are the enamels defaults common?

Since these badges were worn everyday and in the field, enamel damage is very common. I assume that you meant "fault" when you typed "default" ...

Before 1950 there were different specs for those badges and they were made by different factories, so the quality, especially that of the enamel, was very different.

To give you a better idea, what I am talking about - design is very unusual, enamel is crap, gilt looks like paint. Probably made by a small front line shop.

thanks for the datas Alexei. Yes I mean "fault", or defect (?) about white enamel overlaping on letters for example.
