JapanX Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Never seen the real one. Only fakes (or, if you wish, replicas)... Some say that this badge is pure fantasy and was created as specially priced piece for american collector in late 90s ... Others that this is the rarest soviet military badge ... Check it out (all pieces that will be posted in this thread are replicas) Edited November 6, 2012 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Check out the price (in US $) of this badge in famous Avers #8 (Obverse #8) By the way, the piece in the Avers #8 most likely is fake too :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 According to one source this badge was created by the RVS Order # 15 on January 20, 1928. The badge was issued for "special achievements in combat training" The badge awarded to formation commanders was in gold gilt. Here comes its replica :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanX Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Some say that the total number of issued badges is ... 28 (!?! ) Well, let me know what you think (or heard ) about this badge Cheers, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Second attempt at posting. Thank you Nick, So far one has not crossed the threshold of my humble originisation. However considering many of our vendors are quite happy to slip in the odd fake badge with some genuine ones (and I doubt unwittingly). I anticipate at some time that one of these beauties will rear its ugly head. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
