Tal,

It is the genuine style of badge for sub commanders, not crew. However, it is not rare. I have bought several for $5 each.

I don't know what is up with them. Maybe they are fakes and the real thing is much better quality but if so I have never seen one. I suspect they are real but mass-produced. I myself have seen more of them than the number of subs the USSR had. ;)

There are also fakes made in UK but they have subtle differences.

Tal,

This is a 1943 type badge, issued to sub commanders, first mates, and chief mechanics. As Shawn had mentioned it is still been coined in Russia.

A lot of things can be said about the capture of Berlin medal. The description below is - to my opinion - not one of them:

"Russian Soviet WWII Berlin medal Uncommon ".

What is the word on the suspension of that monstrosity?

New World,

If we had a prize for the funniest fantasy medal you would be the winner. I am glad I was sitting down when I saw this. The word on the pin is Yakutia. LOL!!

Another "non expert" way to make a buck (at least trying to) - the following description regards the veteran of labor medal (bargain - at $25.00):

"You are bidding on an OLD Russian Military Issue MEDAL. I do not know anything about it but it was in a box with other old medals from the 40's, 50's, and 60's. It is made of metal."

:cool:

Mozzabloke,

And it's not even complete, it's missing the suspended shield with the number of years served.
