			<description><![CDATA[An eBay seller I've dealt with before (which doesn't make everything "kosher";)) has this exact badge/medal for sale in both his English and German language locations (exact same pictures) with auctions ending an hour apart. The description says "About 100 persons have been awarded." This was for the 1957 exhibition in Moscow and I've seen others from different years posted somewhere on the forum with hefty price tags. <br />
<br />
My problem(s) with this is that if they are so rare, why does he have <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">two</span> of them for sale and then I suspect he'll have two more later. The same seller has had some of these from different years (1954, 1956) from what I can remember. The other thing to keep in mind is that they are coming from Estonia. <br />
<br />
'Nuff said other than the big question: Does anyone have a clue as to whether these are even remotely real? They sure do look pretty.:D<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Here's another one that appears to fit into this category, except for one thing - the Latin letters at the base. I get that it is probably (at least according to the seller) a badge for 30 years of the Soviet Union. However, I don't see any Russian mint marks for something allegedly this old and I still have no idea what the letters at the bottom are for - acronym? a language from a republic I don't recognize?<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I would gather for all of us infos about this possibility...<br />
this monday I've been proposed from Kiiv four deputies documents. Looks OK in terms of wear, smells of glue and old simili-leather.<br />
but do you have gentlemen seen fakes?<br />
<br />
I've observed some constants in what I think good docs:<br />
azerbaidjan/armenia in the 50'60' use real photos glued and real stamps, black ink;<br />
old 40 and 50' russian docs same tech;<br />
baltic states since 60' use like "scanned" photos and stamps besides a plastic sheet;<br />
modern docs of the 70' do use this technique.<br />
<br />
do you know more precisely the printing techniques to create the booklets?<br />
<br />
this one came with a very suspicious badge.<br />
<br />
so I'm not very peaceminded (??)...<br />
<br />
with a friend we were a bit dubious about the "scanned" photo...but I later saw the same technique on others docs of the same period (60ies and later).<br />
<br />
the "filigrans" (right?) are perfect<br />
<br />
what worries me is the perfect condition of the leather and gold lettering...<br />
<br />
so...fake or not? (even genuine, if it is sold with a fake badge, its value is by far greater , isn't it?).<br />
<br />
