Misrepresenting on eBay:
"RUSSIAN BADGE MEDAL SMERSH IMPERIAL RUSSIA . RUSSIAN BADGE. For Irreproachable Service in the Police (SMERSH). Silver badge. Shows age, but no damage. Front has image of Czar Nikoli. Measures approx 3 1/2" top to bottom. Obtained directly from an old family in Russia."
SMERSH units did not exist in pre-1917 Imperial Russia, they were created during WW II (1941-1945).
BTW, SMERSH stands for "Death to Spies" and was part of KGB.

Some sellers on eBay are getting better and better! Just another way to use that fake KGB badge:
"Russian Award Lighter for USSR KGB employeers".
Thank you for long service and here's your Cheap retirement lighter, comrade, so you can think of Iron Felix when lighting your smokes!

New World,
What makes it even more interesting is that the fake badge is attached to a fake Zippo :)

Military Merit medal with wrong ribbon and Bulgarian box.
Here's seller's description:
"This Russian Medal complete with its box, is in excellent condition. The medal was given after World War 2
The sign on the medal is for 'special military exploits' or 'special contributions in combats'.
This is a really unusual medal and is much sought after."

New World,
