    Comments & Opinions on a Badge of Honor


    Recommended Posts

    I think it's a fake of the Type 2 Variation 1. or 2. I don't like the details on the back, the lack of patina and the engraved number. I'm no specialist because I have never seen a real one, but it's missing points for me.

    By the way, McDaniel's book says that # 1017 should be in the Type 1 range, so it shpuld be definitely wrong.

    In my oppinion a fake.

    See the picture of a real typ 1 Badge of Honor. Known s/n range: 20 - 1.447

    Totally nothing fits:

    Missing rivets on the reverse

    look at the figures, totally different faces

    and so on ...

    KP could be a master mark, to my standard of knowledge it is unknown what it is exactly.

    Observed letters on Badge of Honors are: K, KP, O, C, TP, bK and I have one with a "5" on the top

    of the screw.

    regards

    I'm sorry, I should have used a better choice of words.

    Ed's make's me feel like I'm looking into deep, early soviet enamel..... Do you know what I mean? To me, it has a noticeable "depth" and dimension feel/look to it. As opposed to the very "one-dimensional" view of the enamel in the first "example" I posted for comment...
