Hello,

what do you think about this rare Voronshilov horse rider badge?
It is the same badge with different light conditions.

The obverse looks terrible. Bad enamel it seems....

Where did the "CCCP", that you can see on the reverse, go?

[Alfred]

Maybe, replaced enamel ??

[Nota Bene]

Alfred,

I believe enamel on the star is not original, and some white enamel was also replaced, but the badge is genuine.

Thanks Alexei,

the price for the piece is ~200 $.
Not a bargain or the sale of the Century. :(

To me the edges of the tip of the screwpost looks very sharp and brand new.

Andreas,

It is brand new, and the fake patina is so obvious. Oh, even the screwplate is fake.

Andreas, Alexei,

These (and the rest of the series it seems) can currently be purchased at the St Peterburg Mint shop for about 6~7 euros each.

Yeap, and they can be purchased in many souvenir shops in Moscow as well.
