Fake Supreme Soviet Deputy Badges

[Jack D. Elmquist]

So it appears I did upload them correctly. Are there any comments to these 6old Supreme Soviet badges. They include an Estonian screwback, Byelorussian screwback, Volga German screwback, Moldovian screwback, Crimea screwback and Buryat-Mongolian screwback. Jack

Jack,

Individual, hi-resolution pictures/scans of the front and backs would help, as these are widely (and excellently) faked.

That was a fast response. Here are some fronts. I will try to get some
other photos later. Jack

[Jack D. Elmquist]

A couple more.

[Jack D. Elmquist]

Another front and 2 backs.

[Jack D. Elmquist]

Three more backs. That's it for now. Jack

I'll be the first to say I don't like any of these.

Jack,

I have to agree with Paul, from what can be seen, you got yourself a nice collection of good-quality copies.

Estonian one made by original die. But there is a mistake that gives it away as well as others.

Back from a long week end. Badges came from different vendors. Was uncertain of Estonian badge and Buryat-Mongolia but others looked good to me. Fakes, of course, are the bane of collectors and the primary reason I stopped buying many years ago. Collecting will be left to those with the time and resources to determine authenticity. However, I am not willing to concede lack of authenticity on these badges yet. I will have to actually get them physically inspected. Thanks for your input. Jack
