I have never seen this type before, white... is it an older type of the all-blue ones?

Woo...I've been looking at a lot of badges in the last 6 months and I've never seen anything like that. Could be fake, fantasy, dembel...
The leaves do not match my early, brass and enameled screwbacked piece and I don't have a later, painted example. Although yours seems to have red and blue enamel as well. Did you ever find out anything about this?

I checked Avers 8 and they show only the brass and enamel version (not the cheap paint ones (70s/80s)). No white paint/enamel.
Airapetyan and URAL, at least the ones I have, don't show this badge at all. It doesn't look 50s to me.

Patrik,
I have one (or two???) of these in my collection. They are at best very uncommon. I tend to believe that they are rather 1960's production. Marc

I found these images very recently on eBay.
The white border is somewhat sloppy and I feel it might, might, be post-production. But that's just a guess. On the reverse it looks like it might have the remains of that grey solder/flux that I've noticed on a certain era's badgework.

The white enamel looks so sloppily applied.
Could this be by any chance early dembel work?
