OGPU Otlichnic Badge.

Widely faked and expensive!

Danny,

This is a fake, and not a very good one too - fake patina is obvious; color of the red enamel is off; swords on the back are flat, etc. I will see if I can find pictures of a genuine badge.

They are two different badges.

Both were constructed in the same manner though.

Well, since my last post things became more complicated, my supplier tells me there fake academy badges made of silver. :mad: I guess when buying those badges you should look for genuine patina and genuine wear.

Alexei

Is this a example of an faked academy badge made out of silver with separately fixed shield. It has no wearing traces, no patina and looks brand new

regards
Andreas

Andreas,

I agree. Those separately attached shields were discontinued in 1957, so it would've at least developed some patina.
