These two pistures look like drawings from wartime UK military intelligence manuals I have seen. If trrue, they would have been working from limited info and photos.
"Russian SMERSH ID BADGE For Col. Antonov Jiergiej Konstantinovich. A Colonel who I understand became a General. Smersh is Russian for "death to spies". Organized in early 1943 specifically for hunting spies, but they more commonly stood behind the battle lines and shot anyone who tried to retreat. In April 1943 the "Smersh" evolved into the NKGB. This ID is 1 of 2 known to exist at this time. After the war these guys destroyed their ID's and changed their names. You can't blame them, it had to be a tough job to have to shoot your own men, unthinkable!! So when I say rare I am serious! I bought these from a close acquaintance, a very sensitive topic that made me quite uneasy."
Numbered on reverse 2812981 The Red Star Order Of Lenin.....with 2 ribbons...this is part of a collection bought from a collector in Sweden, all items are authentic."
