Re: Fake Voroshilov Marksman Badge

I am in no means an expert but outside the first shooters badge none of the others in my opinion show any natural wear, which in the vast majority of authentic badges do.

How about these, gents? (Sorry my screenshots don't cover the entire screen--so much for using my work laptop) Thanks! :thumbsup

Re: Fake Voroshilov Marksman Badge

It's very clean; looks almost new. It doesn't have that chocolate doughnut fake patina in it, so that's good.
Of course I'm no expert in these at all; too many variations and although I'd like one I don't have one yet.
So, basically, I don't know. :)

Re: Fake Voroshilov Marksman Badge

No worries, thanks Eric! Yeah I'm no expert at these but it actually looks ok to me so far, just looking for the "usual suspects" of chemical patina etc.
