unknown badge

[USSR]

Does anybody know what this is? Is it real?

Thanks!

Unlikely, especially if it came from the same place as the Order of Lenin :cool:

True, but the seller did tell me the Lenin was not "original" but didn't say anything about this one. I'm sure the seller has honest intentions sice I know him well.

USSR,

You did not say so in the Lenin thread. You reported that he told you some fairytale about OLs being made out of silver during the winter war...

No, I said and meant it sounds strange. Didn't say he made it up himself ;)

The badge looks like it is trying to pass itself off as a Civil War-era commander badge, apparently cavalry.

It could be real, but I doubt it. The screwback plate already has prejudiced me against it.

Thanks desantnik,

Is there anyway of telling if the badge itself is original?

And what about about this one? It looks very worn down...

In my opinion :thumbsdown

I would agree that it is a fake. It is so crude it looks like it was made of plasticine.

Not a snowball's chance in hell!!!

Well, that's pretty clear then... Nice way of putting it btw :chuckle
