For the Serbian "Ljotic" Saint George badge, there are two variations.

 

One is with Pin and catch and numbers location on the left middle side ( like with the badges on the photos from the previous page) and the other variation is with Nuts, two of them, Up and down of the badge.

 

Now about the numbering, seems the series made with pin and catch was larger in number and they have indeed zero in front, I have seen original with 0******

 

The ones with nuts attaching device, are with low numbers ( three mostly ) and no zero in front and you can find them on the right side of the upper Nut.

 

The two badges that Paja brought pictures are indeed copies, the numbers are similar like those, but they didn't do so good job

 

( The original pieces have "jumby" numbers- by that I mean not always in a straight line - and these numbers are not the same visually as the original ones).

 

I am sorry that I do not have pictures to provide, I do not posses a Ljotic Saint George badge.....

Hi Emanuel,

Can you tell me what you think about this one? I'm hoping it's real. Other comments are more than welcome 

Here's one not exactly a ck badge but at least it's REAL 

 I have this one,  "text book" example and I'm not sure of anything about it except it came from a reputable source

I’d like to know if my badge is authentic? If so, why is it different from other badges?

Here are the photos of the back and front.

Linked the image because I wasnt able to post the images here.

Hi there,

That's a million dollar question,  and the short answer is; depending where you got it. To me it looks like it was made do deceive a potential collector but that's just my opinion.  We know that there are hundreds of fakes in all different variations and the experts on this subject are tight lipped. 

Bog ti pomogo

Iv been collecting ck items for the last five years, and could not get this out fast enough so you don't waste your money. 99.9% and i do mean 99.9 of ck items you see for sale unless on a reputable military forum type sight are FAKE,COPIES or REPLICAS.  2nd there are a handful of experts and they don't talk much. A Kama (a ck. Knife) if you find one will certainly run you over  $3k. Most important of all to remember that a wise collector who is very knowledgeable in this subject but quiet recently told me "its not what you are buying but who you are buying from". You are going to find meany helpful people here.

Good luck my friend

OUCH no OOOOUCH,, Could be real I guess???  but for 800 of my $$ I would give it this rating

From the front I'd give it 4 out of 10

From the back it's a 1 at best.  

Serbman , thank you for sharing pictures of your badges. I have seen only two others that I know for a fact are real making a total of four. All four are very different and yet have a lot in common when compared to let's say this badge.

Drazo

Just wondering why you are taking Pajas coments so personal? What do you have to lose? In every one of Pajas comments he claims not to be an expert on chetnik items, states his opinion and asks what do others think. Whats wrong with that? If you Draza are a true collector as you claim to be you would welcome Pajas and everybodys comments as he to me just wants to find the truth. What sucks for some people is the truth hurts. The way to derive to the truth is by having people comment on what they see and not by personaly attacking the person thats asking questions. Drazo if your feelings got hurt stay away from gmic, because my friend seems like reading the TRUTH makes you and your comments look irrational. Dont atack the mesinger just because you don't like the mesage.Last but not least if you need this transelated try some members on gmic, a lot of them are extremely inteligent and knowledgeable.

Posts 247,248 I agree there's a huge difference in the quality of the two medals. The silver one is three dimensional while the dark one is two dimensional at best. The last letter E in the word gradjanske the makers ran out of room and had to tilt up. The whole thing is missing fine detail, but the "patina" is kinda impressive.

Hello gents,

Some of you have already seen these items, one or more of the red m39 badges might have replaced cloth, please feel free to comment.

Serbman, the squiggly lines I'm talking about are to the left of the word "ravna"

I would like to thank Paja and Emanuel for their diligent work and willingness to speak the truth. Man what an eye opener.... I have been collecting rare BMX bicycles for over 30 years dealt with hundreds if not thousands of people, but have never seen before someone selling "KEY CHAINS" as the real thing. Keep up the good work guys I'm sure that I'm not the only one counting on you.

Hi.

Here is the one I have. Just wonderng if on the bottom left , bottom of the letter "M" if that is a some kind of signature or a flaw.http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_01_2015/post-17891-0-17175100-1420679664.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_01_2015/post-17891-0-17175100-1420679664.jpg
