Re: Fake Voroshilov Marksman Badge

Thanks Marc, :)
I suspected, but I'm not complaining I'm very happy for the other three.
Small badges unfortunately do not have the screwbacks.

I don't like any of them. Sloppy enamel and unnatural brush bronze look to the obverse w/ lots of fake black patina on back imho.

No, only one of the four badges shown by Marsino is fake, the other three are nice originals.

dav,
Sorry, but I did not understand :confused:
You do not like any of the four?
Or you agree with Lapa?

Re: Fake Voroshilov Marksman Badge

Marsino,

Dave did not like any of them and thought that all 4 are fake.

Re: Fake Voroshilov Marksman Badge

It's very clean; looks almost new. It doesn't have that chocolate doughnut fake patina in it, so that's good.
Of course I'm no expert in these at all; too many variations and although I'd like one I don't have one yet.
So, basically, I don't know. :)

Re: Fake Voroshilov Marksman Badge

No worries, thanks Eric! Yeah I'm no expert at these but it actually looks ok to me so far, just looking for the "usual suspects" of chemical patina etc.
