Ebay Russian Special Forces Badge ?
Hi everyone @ SMA. My name is Andy. I just joined the other day. I am a new collector as such and was wanting to know if this item is a fake ?
Also could someone point me in the right direction for a good honest military dealer/website. I am really into tanks/snipers & special forces and am trying to obtain stuff specific to these types. Here is the link:hxxp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260356198343#ebayphotohosting thanks, Andy. |

Andy,
Welcome to our small corner of the net! What you show is but one of an almost endless series of currently-made dubious badges. Marc |

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I really don't want any fakes in my collection, do you know of a good site that sells such things ?
Cheers, Andy. |

Andy,
These are not fakes in the sense that they are not intended to be fraudulently passed instead of something original. They are simply commercially produced badges of dubious use/meaning/value IMHO. Marc |

Hello Andy and welcome to the forum :)
IMHO, the best place to find such pieces is here, at the forum marketplace.

Re: Ebay Russian Special Forces Badge ?
I just found this one on e-pay and the seller claims it is from Latvia, which would explain the use of Latin "alfabet':laff (OK, it wasn't that funny). But, considering the high number of fakes from that region, I have to ask - what do you guys think?
(This is the only picture - no reverse.) Phillip

Re: Ebay Russian Special Forces Badge ?
God only knows, but I doubt it. This is more likely a labor "veteran" for some civilian institution.

Re: Ebay Russian Special Forces Badge ?
I agree, it could be a legit veteran badge, but certainly not from the KGB "Alfa".

Re: Ebay Russian Special Forces Badge ?
It is a bit tame for those guys. Just checking to see if anyone had seen it before. Thanks gents.
