OGPU Badge - Page 3

Phillip - I replied to your PM...thanks. Invaluable HUMINT, my good man. I owe you one.

I think I will either display this proudly in the fake area of my collection, and admire it as the super sharp piece of work it undoubtedly is -

- or, - wishful thinking;) - one day when I get an authenticated early OGPU badge, I will take a trip to Mother Russia and toss this badge ceremoniously into the Volga. Preferably as I consume copious amounts of good Russian Vodka.

John,

This badge is one of the newer fakes originating mostly from the Saint-Petersburg area (the one in the former Evil Empire, not the one in FL ;))
