Re: unknown badge
Does anybody know what this is? Is it real?

Re: unknown badge
Unlikely, especially if it came from the same place as the Order of Lenin :cool:

Re: unknown badge
USSR,
You did not say so in the Lenin thread. You reported that he told you some fairytale about OLs being made out of silver during the winter war... Marc |

Re: unknown badge
The badge looks like it is trying to pass itself off as a Civil War-era commander badge, apparently cavalry.
It could be real, but I doubt it. The screwback plate already has prejudiced me against it. |

Thanks desantnik,
Is there anyway of telling if the badge itself is original? And what about about this one? It looks very worn down... Last edited by CtahhR; 12-18-2012 at 11:31 AM. |

Re: unknown badge
I would agree that it is a fake. It is so crude it looks like it was made of plasticine.
