Danny,
This is a fake, and not a very good one too - fake patina is obvious; color of the red enamel is off; swords on the back are flat, etc. I will see if I can find pictures of a genuine badge. Alexei |

They are two different badges.
Both were constructed in the same manner though. Rusty.

Is this a example of an faked academy badge made out of silver with separately fixed shield. It has no wearing traces, no patina and looks brand new regards Andreas |

Andreas,
I agree. Those separately attached shields were discontinued in 1957, so it would've at least developed some patina. Alexei |
