Stogieman Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Thought it would be interesting to point out the hundreds of bad MGB, KGB, NKVD, MOOP and MWD ID's and documents circulating on eBay. Here's a really cheesy NKVD document:
NavyFCO Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Thought it would be interesting to point out the hundreds of bad MGB, KGB, NKVD, MOOP and MWD ID's and documents circulating on eBay. Here's a really cheesy NKVD document:That one's fine. What do you see wrong with it?Ha. Okay, just kidding. Yeah, I think more of these are bad than good. I've got a good one I can post up here when I find the scans of it.Dave
Ed_Haynes Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 This may be the only REAL one in captivity? I am told that 99.999% of the ones one sees out there are 100% fake.
Stogieman Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 And in keeping with my starting theme.... here's last night's listing of FAKE documents. The MVD one is very bizarre as the Gramota appears to be an "awarding document" for the MVD Honored Employee Badge sans anyplace to put a serial number in... Say what!????
Stogieman Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 How about that pompadour on that fellow. Looks like a "Spies Must Die" kinda guy, eh?
Stogieman Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 A nice touch... a close up of the "MGB Officer"
Stogieman Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 And lastly, what is claimed to be an NKVD document. All these articles are coming out of The Ukraine.
Stogieman Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 Whoops... almost forgot...... a 1977 "Honored KGB Employee" document.
Stogieman Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 Cover:Of them all, I suspect that this is a genuine document that has been falsely filled in.
Danny Posted January 28, 2006 Posted January 28, 2006 It's such a shame that these documents are so widely faked. Makes collectors like me shy away from all of them.
Stogieman Posted January 28, 2006 Author Posted January 28, 2006 I agree Danny, I am loathe to buy anything like this without close, adult supervision. These seem to be a regular industry in some parts of the world.
Bill Dienna Posted January 29, 2006 Posted January 29, 2006 If the fellows producing the fake documents, badges, medals, and uniforms had shown the same initiative, creativity and work ethic while the Soviet Union still existed, we might not have won the cold war after all!
Stogieman Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 Last night's postings. I'm thinking "yeah, these are real"... "real bad"
Stogieman Posted January 30, 2006 Author Posted January 30, 2006 And another. All from the same seller in The Ukraine. Very busy boy he is.
Ed_Haynes Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 If the fellows producing the fake documents, badges, medals, and uniforms had shown the same initiative, creativity and work ethic while the Soviet Union still existed, we might not have won the cold war after all! And if there were truly that many people in KGB and affiliated organisations, we'd all be living in an international workers' paradise now. Yours in struggle,Ed
Stogieman Posted February 3, 2006 Author Posted February 3, 2006 A new batch. Again, all out of the Ukraine
