Chris,
My supplier had actually admited that this badge was a fake, and discounted it from $1000 to $200.
In my opinion Avers is not a serious reference, but the badge pictured in the Kutsenko book also measures 50 x 32, and is out of proportion with his data. Give me a day or two, and I will try to dig out some more information about this badge.
I have seen a smaller badge long time ago, and back then I did not have enough experience to tell if it was OK.
