Stogieman Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 Surfing through eBay, I saw this badge and document set. The thing that makes me pause is the badge looks so very crude compared to others I have seen of a similar nature. Also, I was struck by the writing in the document folder as the clearest I've ever seen for a Russian document. Is this whole thing a put-together? An altered original document? The price is pretty outrageous as well, but no big surprise there. Curious as to the opinions of anyone who knows... Thanks!
Stogieman Posted December 9, 2005 Author Posted December 9, 2005 Here's a reverse of the badge. Note the crappy blotch of solder. A legitimate repair, or hiding something that should not be there?
Stogieman Posted December 9, 2005 Author Posted December 9, 2005 The interior of the booklet is too big for me to post, will play with it tonight. Thanks for looking!.
HuliganRS Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 That badge has been offered for sale for as long as I have been collecting!I wonder if he's still selling the OGPW2...Rusty.
Stogieman Posted December 9, 2005 Author Posted December 9, 2005 So it's real?? Was The OPW2 named to the same guy?
HuliganRS Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 No, they are not a group.He has been selling 3 items for as long as I can remember. One, a RB screwback he actually sold since I haven't seen it in a while. The other two are still being pushed.If it was real, it would have sold years ago!Rusty.
Stogieman Posted December 9, 2005 Author Posted December 9, 2005 Thanks Rusty, glad to see my bells were correct. I will still play with the photo when I get home and post it so everybody can see the extent these people go to with their fakery. Rather impressive amount of effort being expended to rip people off in my opinion. Seems to me there should be an easier way for these guys to make a buck, but what do I know....
HuliganRS Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 I'm really surprised this guy hasn't hit a newbie yet!I've seen a OGPW2 from 1985 sell for over $100! I'd take about 50 customers and sell them my stash!...there's a sucker born every minute! Sad but true.
Danny Posted December 9, 2005 Posted December 9, 2005 This is the set apparently with a document signed by Beria himself I believe? As Rusty, I have seen this on sale forever and never gets a bid.
