Fake KGB and "Egg" Badges

[Chris]

Hi tal

Are you saying that mine is an obvious fake or the one from the site. The one from the site is reportedly real and I concur. MIne is a very low number.

There is a difference with the position of the hammer and sickle, this is normal bewtween variants. Apart from that they are very close.

If you are comparing "mine and theirs"

I have seen fakes of the usual tin stamp variaty. They compare nothing to the badges I have.


Have you handled any or is it just from surfing the internet.

I would be interested

All the badges are of very good quality siver and the paterna compare well with other "definate badges I have. The previous owner has cleaned up the higlights on all the badges. The paterna is strong and not chemical applied. There are no great dings to suggest wear but the same could be said of a lot of badges and medals. I do not believe they were worn that much and have be laid in draws for years on end, the owners long dead killed in purges etc (my conjecture).

Regards chris..PS if you think they are fake give reasons..no reasons = guess work.
