Fake "Excellent" Badges.

[marsino]

This badge arrived today. It looks a little different than my mortar and machine gunner badges. Is it okay?

Badge original, central enamel replaced, but nut wrong, because the costructor is NKPS.

Yes, it is MKPS WW2, and the MTX nut is wrong.

People's Commissariat Of Lines Of Communications (NKPS) production does not mean a wartime production - it can only be certain that it is a March 1946 or earlier production.

Ctahhr, thanks! I was wrong to write the N.

Ctahhr, what's your source?
I'm interested, because from my readings, I understand it to be a variant of war.

I think that after that date it would be MPS already, as NKPS, like all other narkomaty was reanamed Ministery atthat time.
