    Someone is trying to sell this fake badge at one of the Russian forums. The enamel is of low quality (not a hot enamel but cold). Also the details of the sword and sword handle show the difference. The Roman number 10 or X is floppy and the details of the 12 and 22 (in old Mongol numbers) is less pronounced.

    The reverse also has multiple problems. The screwpost pole was soldered in a customary way. The numbering is very sloppy. The edges of the badge at 11 and 1 o'clock are too rounded. The original badges have more or less concave reverses while this one has a rather flat reverse. Also the concave imprint of the Soyombo letter somehow missed the stamped imprint. The original badges show exact imprints of the Soyombo reflected on the reverse while on this badge, the front and back imprints miss each other.

    I've been watching this one too... Brown gold is extra special!!! I haven't looked too closely but I'm almost tempted to say that the silver part with blue enamel might be real and that the "gold" part has been replaced. Over the past 10 years I've seen 3 or 4 silver SB parts for sale so who knows this might be one of those butchered ones...

    see post 101 in the SB thread.. Pin back 813 shown butchered.
