Hi Marsino, welcome to the forum. As you might know by browsing this forum, I have one of the best collections of excellent-fakes ever seen.

I try to guess:
(a) torpedist - OK - ww2
(b) submariner - OK - postwar
© pontonier - Ok? - very postwar
(d) cook - OK - postwar

Anyway, I would suggest to wait for the real experts before making any conclusion.
ciao

Thanks Sergio
But you're a real expert ! :thumbsup

Not yet, marsino. But at least I'm trying to improve..:)

We should keep this topic alive until the experts come..... I am sure that someone will notice your badges and will leave a comment!

cheers

I put a better photo

Seguo il tuo consiglio Sergio... proviamo a bombardare un po'

You tell me also the historical period?

Thanks :)

First, your "a-d" obverse do not match your "a-d" reverse making attribution difficult.

To start, all of the screwback plates, or nuts, are late Soviet/Russian from no later than the 1980s.

From your improved photos Torpedist and Submariner are definitely bad, however I believe the other two to also be bad. They have fake "aging" on the reverse.

The style of lettering in the ring surrounding the main device is the main give away. The clean reverse "incuse" or mirror effect don't look right either.

Thanks desantnik :thumbsup


I took a rip off :cry:

[Nota Bene]

I am in complete agreement with Desantnik, all four look bad to me.
