Any input on the legitimacy of this one? Thanks!

It´s a WW II guards badge, looks okay to me.

To see them in prominent wear in the field, it's surprising they don't all do. No shame in enamel lost honorably.

Thanks for the pick me up.

I'm actually coming to Soviet militaria from the firearms collecting side. And there, I prefer original condition, unmessed with war dogs that actually look like they saw some action over pristine or reworked examples. Heartened to hear that some badge collectors feel the same way!

Oh and Jeffrey...I'm a displaced San Antonian myself. Clark grad 1984 :thumbsup So, howdy y'all!

Which period approximately?

Only postwar badges have 'waves' under the red enamel. Wartime badges have a strawberry pattern or no pattern at all.

Hello Guys,
War time badge

I think post war as well. It's hard to tell from the images but is that paint on the banner and not enamel?
