OGPU Badge
Judging by the more common fake OGPU badge, this one I recently aquired looks promising. But I am not an expert.
Here's the front and back. Look how closely the thin fakes out there with the perfect enamel resemble this very well made badge. This one looks somewhat newer than the 20's - but it sure does look more like the other real Soviet era badges I've seen than the fake OGPU badge. Perhaps it's a later KGB "Chekist" badge? These are the photos from the dealer I bought this from. I will post more detailed shots when I get my hands on it. That is, if it doesn't turn out to be a well-known fake - I leave that judgment to the far more experienced out there. One thing I do like - the script does not say "Workers of the World Unite." Anyone know what it says? I can't read Cyrillic. Anyway - it's a well made badge IMO. For me it was a bargain price. I may have even bid against some of you out there. Lastly -any comments would be Greatly appreciated. John Last edited by Curator; 07-21-2012 at 04:25 AM. |
