Badge "Voroshilov Shooter".

Andreas,

That box looks like the one for Hero stars (HSU and HSL).

Guys,

I have seen a boxed VS badge, and it was a rather plane green box with cheap felt. I am not sure if it was original, though it looked like it.

Here's the HSU/HSL box in question.

What do you think of this one? I don't like the red enamel:
- On his leg
- On the rifle at the bayonet attachment
- Across his chest along the strap of his bag

Opinions?

Enamel looks aweful. Should have posted this on the fakes forum my friend. Maybe one of the mods can move it. If you haven't bought this one yet, I'd pass.

Guys,

Sorry not to go along with the flow here, but these badges were produced by different factories at different times, therefore showing differences from one to the next.
From the scans, I don't see anything that raises an immediate red flag; granted, I have seen better enamel work, but... The patina on the reverse seems genuine, and the screwpost seems to be properly soldered.

Guys,

I have to agree with Marc - I don't see anything wrong with this badge.

Looks like a Badge from the pre war periode. Any suggestions?:rolleyes:

Thanks!
