The one I posted was sold by the same guy who also sold those Nakhimov and Ushakov Medals mentioned on another recent thread, as well as some uniforms, hats, etc, also mentioned I think in other recent threads. Apparently some of his items are probably good (according to other members opinions in those threads), and others look to be fake (also according to other members opinions) on this and other threads!

Sniper Badge

Hi,

attached are the backsides of two real sniper badges.

Don´t like the screwbase from post 6 and the badge from post 7 looks like a
capral one.

regards
Andreas

Andreas,

Ok, now the difference is perfectly obvious and clear!
I'm sure it will help those interested in these Badges decide if what they see for sale is good or not.

Thanks a lot,

Dolf

Iteresting...

It may be a conversion to a rarer type. Notice that the hanging suspension is attached to the badge's rings that are soldered on! I believe the original should have them as part of the medal.
