SergioV Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Gentlemen i need help what do you think about this silver badge? i can not find information.. i am curious to know if is real or fake, if it is a badge of navy, or simply a badge for veterans and retirees, some unofficial badge from private association, and what value can have.

Paul R Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I like it! Sweet piece. I wonder what the Admiral did to win the Medal of Courage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) All I can say to is that it was issued by some organization "Union of Wаrriors of submarine force of Russia" based in St.Petersburg for "For concern (old style радение is closer to zeal) to the marine affaire" Never heard about such org (maybe guys from faleristika will recognize this organization? ). The only submarine veterans organization that is known to me in St.Petersburg is this one http://www.submarinersclub.ru/index_rus.htm This badge of course unofficial award. But piece looks really nice! Mint quality! And judging by the number (looks like laser engraving to me ) - there are not many of them around!

JapanX Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 How much (if it`s not a secret of course )? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergioV Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 500$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacHel Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Ouch! For an unofficial piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 500$ Interesting piece... But no more than $300 P.S. About marks. According to the assay mark this piece was made in North-West region of Russia (bears letter Л for North-West assay inspection) in 925 silver by unknown (at least to me) manufacturer ИЛМД. Strangest thing ever is different mark on suspension which I believe reads as СпМД, i.e. St.Peterburg Mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
