Imperial Russia 4th Infantry Shock Division badge / 18th June 1917 (Kornilov)

Dear friends,

Could you please tell me what you think about this badge? Could it be an original?

A very similar one has already been discussed on this forum: http://gmic.co.uk/in...identification/

The differences between the two examples are quite obvious but they could be due to different makers, or I am wrong?

Thank you very much.

I asked the current seller for other pictures. Here are the new ones he sent to me:

Same description, same three pictures... I am astonished there are still people willing to pay 800 dollars for it. It has just been sold... :banger:
