The hammer and sickle are backwards, but the writing is not.

Someone in Russia liked it enough to pay $89 for that on E.

Hi,

it's some local Tallinn Borderguard unit badge, and it can be original. Local unit's ordered by themself some badges and they all can not be in this Kutsenko book.
Avers look's ok, old enamel and everything, but for me is confusing the reverse of this badge. It' s flat and soldering of the screw, screw and screwback plate looks similar as i have seen on the fake KGB badges. And in Tallinn is living one :banghead who is making them...

Keith,

I am in complete agreement with Lauri. I have seen this badge before, and decided to pass, because I wasn't sure about it.

Could i get a confirmation about this badge? It looks alright to me, mirror reversed and all but I am doubting the screwnut. Seems that it doesn't belong to this badge. Could someone confirm this please? Thanks

Danny,

The badge is most likely OK. Screwplate indeed may not be original.

Thanks Alexei. Indeed I have found another reference to this badge and the screw plate is different from this one.

What do you think about this NKWD school badge?
The patina seems to be chemically applied?
One of the fakes which floods the market ?

Andreas,

sure looks like it; is a close-up of the mintmarks on the back available?

Andreas,

I have seen this badge, and had a chance to examine it in detail. I am convinced that it is a fantasy piece.
