Hi everybody!
First of all I want to congratulate you about the extremely professional work you all do here. I registered in this site because I love, as you do, soviet awards, and I want to share my hobby with other people. I will beggin my activity here with a "real or fake" question: A friend bought this badge we all know some weeks ago, in a militaria show. He paid 700 dollars... a price very different to that Avers 8 suggests (page 425). This is his badge: 1.jpg What do you think? Is my friend a lucky guy who made the deal of his life or he has been scammed? It's a fake? Thank you for your help guys. PD: I deleted the picture background to see it better. The weird things you can see in the right are due to that. Last edited by CtahhR; 01-20-2013 at 07:10 PM. |

Re: Big deal or big fake?
Hi, welcome to forum. It's 10-15 years old fantasy. I bet it has hallmarks on the back:
'84' for silver and couple of others

Re: Big deal or big fake?
With all due respect, but WHY would you spend $700 on something when you have no idea if it's real or fake? And you knew it was priced far below the market value! :confused: Something that seems too good to be true is usually exactly that...

I'm calling him this evening to tell about the fake. I told him I was almost sure it was a fake, cause nobody sells an extremely expensive badge for 7 hundred bucks. An absurd price for this badge but a abusive price for a fake!! It's something we all know... I think my friend is impulsive or something. He gonna be depressed when I tell :chuckle Now I have the pictures I agree with you. Totally fake. Is really awesome is that ph3s knew it just with the first low-quality one :clapclap:clapclap |
