Hello Doug,
It's for a "commander of submarine ship". The badge was established in 1942 and continued up to end of Soviet Union. I can't tell anything about authenticity, but I know there are so many around and they all look a bit different (variations or copies?).
It measures 24 X 73mm and has a "Pobeda" factory mint mark on screwplate.
It's easier to guess the age of the badge for "commander of surface ship" as this one was introduced in 1987 only and depicts a "Alexander Nevsky"-type cruiser.
