Fake Badge "Excellent In The Socialist Competition".
I got this badge one month ago. All I understand from the Cyrillic is "honorable student" but i'm not quite sure about that. It's nicely made from Moscow Mint, with hot enamel, i think in the late 80's.
Does anybody recognize what this badge is? Regards Simo |

Re: Little uknown badge
Avers8 tells me it's made from bronze (with enamel and a screwback) and instituted in 1956. Indeed, the screwpost, real enamel and hand engraving of a serial number makes me think 50s, not 80s.

Re: Little uknown badge
Ya know, as I was staring at the back of that I thought to myself 'the Moscow mintmark looks funny somehow'.
Considering the alleged worth in Avers (400-600) I can see why they're faking these.

Re: Little uknown badge
Nooo, another fake from the "Baltic" mint! At least I got some more practice with these types of badges:(! The only thing that make me suspicious is the too flat mint mark on the screwback (left one is from a genuine distinguished military service medal, right one from my little fake:( badge) but for the rest this badge is very well made. Thank you for open my eyes Olezha11!

Re: Little uknown badge
It's very well made, no wonder you made a mistake. The screwplate is fake as well. The guy name Kasharik sells these on e-bay.
