Fake Badges "Excellent Workers' And Peasants' Red Army".

[d-riemer]

Here is a comparison of the Excellence in the RKKA badge. On the left is a original and on the right a fake. Notice the differences in hammer and sickle, the difference in the soldiers head and the thickness of the inscription.

Alfred,
here are two genuine looking versions of the early RKKA badge that are different because they were manufactured in different facilities. One of them resembles your fake. Deviations in hammer and sickle, the soldier's head and the thickness of the inscription may not be enough to identify a fake.
