Bubniy, are the ones you are showing original or fake?
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight The Who, Won't get fooled again
It would be useful to compare an original to a fake in details so me and other unexperienced collectors could know what to buy. I guess the badges Bubniy shows should have hot enamel isntead of cold. Am I right?

I’m shoving the souvenir, produced with Moscow souvenir factory. You can read it as a fake. Yes, you are right. No enamel, different metal and stamp.
Any reason to doubt it? Can you tell the era? My guess is 70s-80s.
And yes, that's my homemade repair on the reverse.:thumbsdown
Actually, this is one of the first Soviet items I ever got; I've had it for more than 10 years I'd guess.
TIA
