As per your request Tal. Based on the scan of the fake and original side by side this looks original?
Thanks for help Last edited by CtahhR; 03-28-2015 at 10:27 PM. |

My impression: a fake. Strange - there is NO enamel at all around the face of Felix, and in the star, BUT, at the bottom - the enamel is intact?
The faker used red color to make us think there used to be enamel on other areas. Tal

It is always hard to comment on the colour of scans, however, I too have suspicions medaldude. The wear pattern on the enamel is very, very odd. Also, the enamel on the ribbon appears way too dark.

Medaldude,
I think the badge may still be genuine. Original enamel on brass variations often becomes very dark, and it could leave pale red traces on the brass where it had fallen off. What worries me is that there should be "sun rays" on the banner under the enamel. I agree with Shawn, it's hard to tell. Alexei |

Tal,
I've seen them before, I believe I've even posted one earlier with the explanation. I think it's a fake. Alexei |

There is another one offered for sale, that I think is at least suspicious.

KGB 70th fake?
Hi
I´ll been collecting for a while now and I saw this badge on ebay. KGB is faked as hell but this doesn´t look like the rest. I think it´s ukrainian. Could it be genuine?It´s not in any reference material. Best wishes

Sovvisor,
Unfortunately I can't make out the letters around the edges. Could you perhaps PM a larger resolution one? I have seen several of this style of cheap aluminuim bages that are genuine - to either local KGB offices or KGB military units and authorized only by the local commander. On the other hand, as you say KGB stuff is faked all the time and a cheaply made adge would likely sell enough to be worth it. (How's that for non-committal!) Shawn |

Sovvisor,
It could be a local Ukrainian badge, but I can't figure what it says either. Alexei |
