Armed Forces Championship Badge

Gentlemen,

Any idea what this is? Soviet? Real or fantasy piece?

Thanks,

Dolf

Not in Borisov's book. Maybe in Avers 2?

I don't think it's a fantasy piece. At least, it's not a fantasy style. I don't know about the details of your piece, but at least I have seen the style before.

I believe this is an Armed Forces Championship badge for placing in an all-military competition. You can see the style in the 1990 Domank book on military badges, illustrations 103-105. It appears as if the colors are red-1st place, blue-second, green-third.

I have attached an image of one of my badges. The date in the small rhomb is 1966. It is, obviously, a green badge but says at the bottom "II Mecto", or second place. That seems to contradict what the book says it should be, a third place badge.

I'm going to guess that yours is an All-Army rather than an All-Military competition badge. Nice first place badge.

Just my two cents.

Chuck

Chuck,

So the one I posted could it be a 1st place for an All-Army shooting (because of the guns) competition?

How much would it be a fair price for this piece?

Thanks again,

Dolf

Yes, at least that's what I think it is, 1st Place in an All-Army shooting competition. The crossed rifles emblem is reminiscent of a Tsarist marksmanship badge.

I have been away for a long time and I am way out of touch with what people are paying in the US/Western Europe for Soviet badges. This is a pretty darn nice badge and, FWIW, it fits in well with my collection of shooting badges. In Georgia I would have expected to pay something like $10-15, tops. I suppose up to triple that in the western market, but that is strictly a SWAG.

Care to share how you came across such an interesting piece?

Chuck

Chuck,

Thanks a lot for all the great info.

This piece is not mine, in fact it's offered for sale right now in a well known auction site.
Starting bid: $49.99

One of the reasons I asked about this Badge is because it looks almost new, that's why I thought that it could be a fantasy piece rather than an original Soviet piece.

Thanks again,

Dolf
