Great find or just bad copy?

deValcourt · 12-09-2009, 11:45 AM

All the seller of this one say for a description is: "Soviet Russian Muslim Republic Badge Medal Order Russia."

Considering the size, I doubt that it is even a copy of the order.

This is the only photo and no replies to my questions.

I'd think "fantasy"?

To be more precisely, CHINEASE fantasy/copy.
They show up rather frequently on our favorite auction site depicting some SSRs, USSR and PRC awards or badges.

Thanks guys. Considering they only want $14, I knew something was up.

It's a Chinese fantasy loosely based on a 1922 Order of Labor of Azerbaijan.

Yes, they do show up a LOT recently. Also with those really cheap four-sided suspensions.
It makes one wonder just how many pennies the workers who make these are paid each week. Obviously not more than a few.
Do we support starving families in China by buying these or are we instigating better quality fakers in the near future???:confused:
World economy makes my head spin.....

It actually looks like they make them out of pennies. The old put the penny on the railroad track and then some tourist places take pennies and put them in a press to get a "memento.";)
