utopis Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Some time ago I saw this badge on ebay. It was described as a replica of an unknown badge, so no help there. I really like the dark green enamel and overall appearance of the badge, probably because I love all awards and badges which depict industrial facilities (odd, I know. I really have no idea why I like them so much ). Well, this one really got me but I wasn't able to identify it so I could get one! Now I finally can't take it anymore. Please help me. Does anybody here know what this badge is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Gaumann Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Can't find it in Avers8. Other than a pre-war style and the heavy industry motif I've no clue either. Sorry I can't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul wood Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Purports to be of the Stalin Socialist Realism era but the quality is not, badges from that period are of superb quality, one only has to look at the Moscow Metro badge to see the craftsmanship. I am afraid I have to agree with Nick, it looks a bit of Gorky Park special.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopis Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Could be (and most likely is) a phantasy piece Oh, come on man, that would be very disappointing! I remember an engraving on the back. It looked like these on many of those pre war labor badges. Well, for a few bucks I'd even take a fantasy piece if the red enamel wasn't made so crudely ...

JapanX Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Yep... Unfortunately the real badges from this time period could cost 2500 ... Sometimes even 25000 Edited June 26, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Even the most common ones would sell for several hundreds.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utopis Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Well some of them are very beautiful and/or rare. But since soviet stuff is amongst the most expensive areas to collect (decorations) it's no wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
