I got this set lately - the doc seems to be original, but the badge itself meakes me doubt. The owner claimsit's authentic. What Do you think?

[Jeffrey Meffert]

The back looks cast and painted but you would have to get another one (known original) to compare and see if they were all like that.

They don't usually come with a flat reverse.

Even the booklet looks different. The ID states it was awarded in 1945. Is it likely to be an earlier variant, or is it more likely to be:thumbsdown?

Guys, there is more than one variation of these badge ! As usual, with all badges.

I like the badge !

Please have a look at the biggest sale side for soviet awards.
or have a look in Avers 8.

Document and badge may not go together. But there is somebody needed with deeper knowledge.

The first badges had the letter -b- in HaPODHbOI the later ones not.

In the document is a letter b and on the badge not.

best regards
Andreas

P.S: What was the price for the badge with document?

[Alfred]

and there is another badge I belive to be okay.

What was the price for the badge with document?

The problem with the set is that I got it to sell it further (or keep it after paying a set ptice. I believe that If I decide to sell it, it will be for something around 50USD, but that is not yet decided.

I have one of just about every variation of these so let me check when I get home. I probably have a document or two as well.

Note to everyone;

Items of "questionable" authenticity go in the "fake" section.
All other items go in the "authentic" areas of the forum. It is easy to point someone to a thread of only authentic items.
Things get rather messy otherwise.

Items that are proved (or are by consensus) "real" will also be moved from the "fake" area to the other sections of the forum.

Please try to remember the focuses of this forum and enjoy!
