Yeah, the 80s versions of these are crappy; light alloy and paint.
These in particular aren't being faked that I know of. I think you might be confusing ОТЛИЧНИК badges with ОТЛИЧНЫЙ badges. Of the former there are only three: Army, Navy and Air Farce and are post-war. Of the later there are many many variaties like excellent mortarman, excellent tanker, excllent driver, excllent baker and so on. Those are the rarer ones, more expensive and can be found faked.
