K3rvmfusa,
Well, I think it is most likely a fake, and the patina is definately artificial. Would it be possible to see the back without the screwpost? Alexei |

Pontoon Badge
Nota Bene,
Thanks for your help. The scans were from the source's web-site. Unfortunately, my cheap scanner does not have any depth of field whatsoever, and the back comes out a blurry mess. For what its worth, additional descriptive info follows: - it does not glow under black light - it weighs 5.5g (without nut) - there is no visible solder/glue/whatever where the screw attaches to the badge Thanks for your assist -- I still have a few days left in the guarantee period in which to return this item. Regards, Jeff Kapitan 3rd Rank (USN, Ret'd) |

Jeff,
Weight doesn't really help much becasue therte were variations of this badge, but it can't be 5.5g, mine weight 13.8-15.1g. Alexei |

I would agree with Alexei on´this one. I have one 100 percent the same, even the screwplate is the same. I say mine is fake. The screw is the thin type that gets a bit thicker at the the badge end. Not the more thick WW2 type of screw. Sometimes it's very poorly soldered, mine has come of (guess that makes it a thre -part badge;) )
The bad thing is that I got mine in 1994 in St Petersburg. So soon this batch of bad copies will get a nice patina... Also got a sniper and submariner, all with the same look. Kim

I'd like to collect the whole set of these and since I have absolutely no idea if these are real, I ask you for your opinions:

Rusty,
I think Communications is genuine, but it is a post-war issue; Scout is a fake; and the 2nd Communications is most likely genuine. All badges from this serie have gone up in price considerably in the past couple of months. Alexei Alexei |

It's a fake - fake patina, bad enamel, etc.
Here's another fake Submariner, different from the previous one. Alexei |
