Not a fantasy piece, a legit one called : Excellent MVD Firefighter. The screw nut isn't original I don't think. Is it possible to see the reverse but with the screw nut removed? Now is it an original or a fake that is for someone else to say.

Bought it for 0.99$ on eBay. I don't have it yet. I do have larger pictures, but I had to reduce them to 50k.

This is a badge that sells for more than that. But you never know, and you can't beat the price you paid for regardless. When you do receive it, would you let me know the weight and material?

Soviet,
I've seen those badges before, I believe it should have a round MM on the back and very bright enamel. I was offered those many times as restrikes. Alexei |

I have received today such a badge. It is made of brass and red enamel. The mint mark isn't the typical circle but is located just to the right and below the first C in CCCP. Not sure about this one, as it looks similar to the one posted by Soviet. In any event it weighs in at 19.5 with the nut and 15.9 without. Opinions? Thanks

I see that. Can you see the mm in my photo? It has the 3 letter MMD in Russian. Still, the amount of money I paid compared with how much it's worth has got me skeptical.

I have one of these, it weights 21Gr with the nut and and 17,65Gr without the nut. Mine looks almost brand new so I don't know if they are from different periods! You mention 3 letters on the Mint Mark. I can only see two (MM) inside that round mark on mine... But that mark is so small that even with a magnifier I'm perhaps missing something! Best, Dolf |
