Re: Fake WWII Otlichnik Badges
See the first post of PAGE 2, the sniper badge has a silvery or nickeled finish. There are more shown on that same page. I was just wondering if anybody has yet seen 'fake' versions of these. Last edited by meyerse; 10-01-2011 at 07:50 PM. |

Re: Fake WWII Otlichnik Badges
Here is the one I have a question on. It certainly isn't one of the common batches of fakes (note the triangle above the white ring, not found on the readily available copies) and I haven't seen a nickled fake. It does have a narrower screw post than the wartime GUARDS badges I have but consistent with the ones deemed 'real' in these posts. vertical lines inside the circle under the red enamel. What do you think? Legit? Age? What is its value (need to know how to value it so I can trade it if there is interest).

Re: Fake WWII Otlichnik Badges
Meyerse,
It looks good to me. As to price, personally, I would not pay any significant premium for the fact that is is nickel-plated, but to each one his own ;) Marc |

Is there any way to date the piece given the nickel color, the vertical lines inside the circle (as opposed to dots) covered by the red enamel? My only thought was to trade it for a class that would go better on display with a TT-33, M91/30-PU or a TP-8 periscope! Thank you again for the assistance, I don't think this will be my last one.

Re: Fake WWII Otlichnik Badges
What about this one? I think it is not very easy to find.

Re: Fake WWII Otlichnik Badges
Very true. Gosh, there are so many fakes of this series on eBay now....they far outnumber the originals.

Re: Fake WWII Otlichnik Badges
Could you judge originality from these pics?
