Strange Finnish Liberty Cross sold

Hello, After doing some research and comparing these 2nd class crosses, which started this topic, I am quite sure they are also made by S&L Jani -
Hi, The department of antiquities is ongoing a long project to digitalize material and organize it. Some of the material has been made available in public, like regimental diaries. I am afraid they will not make medal cards public as they do not do with the "kantakortti" service records. That material has information that is considered personal and even now can not be obtained without permission, especially if the person is still alive. Big problem for them is however, that they dont know who is alive. You need permission from family or excuse (Which means you are making historical re

Thanks! I have thought the designs were made and perhaps tools, but I have never even heard of actual original badge - even a prototype to exists. Somebody even told me that some of the current fakes would have been made with original dies (?) Is that picture on Aver described as original prototype? I got to get Avers 8, my latest is #4. Jani -

Hello, I found good article about OSOAVIAKhiM badges, which even translated well with Google. However I dont know the source, so comments on credibility of this article would be appreciated. (I have never seen so many ads in one page http://valerikon01.blogspot.com/2012/08/blog-post_4501.html By the way. Good idea to search for information with the language you dont know is to put certain term to google picture search. I used term "OSOAVIAKhiM badge" in russian with cyrillic letters and found of lot of interesting stuff through pictures. Jani -
Hello, You can send query to the Order of the Cross of Liberty, and the data is there. Unfortunately some part of the archives is currently under digitalizing and therefore all award cards are not accessible until its done. Send me PM and I can forward your inquiry to friend of mine who do these kind of researches. He knows the current situation. Jani

Best for the last: These I believe are original, however I would be happy if someone would translate what the engraving on the reverse says? -

This one I have absolutely no idea. I have one book about Soviet badges (Printed in 2002) and I would be happy to get suggestions of better ones Does the latest Avers have good pictures of originals? -

Another: Two slightly different badges, which I have found so many different names, that I only dare to ask what might be the official one Are these another type of Voroshilov badges awarded by OSOAVIAKhiM, since I think that name is in these and the previous one? At least neither was among the tons of different fakes I found. -
Dear Friends, Attached pictures of some Cavalry and horse riding badges. I have problems (as usual to identify them all most of all... authenticate. First: Voroshilov Horseman badge

Suvorov 2nd class with doc - awarded to unit, not for person. I will post some pictures now and more tomorrow. I assume its fake, but I cant make decision since I am novice with the documents and order itself looks good - for me it looks like mix of two variations, not exactly like any pictured in mondvor, but still something I need to check from better experts.It is gold.
