paja Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I just noticed a terrible fake on ebay. There is of course no mention of this in the description, it is offered as Serbian Military Academy Badge 1860(!?)-1880 Rare. Even though photos are pretty bad I think it's obvious that the badge is not original. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_09_2014/post-7937-0-43056100-1409684358.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_09_2014/post-7937-0-04548000-1409684365.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_09_2014/post-7937-0-72855000-1409684370.jpg Edited September 2, 2014 by paja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paja Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Photos of a in my opinion better looking replica also from ebay.

Daffy Duck Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I was offered with that specific one, and I had to decline it, as it was obviously fake. I was told that was a cheaper version for those students who couldn't afford silver version... But, as it was a year ago, back than, it was different seller from Croatia...

new world Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 It looks like a copy to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 It's definitely a copy even though the seller wrote: "Sale item from the pictures, I guarantee that it is genuine." Officers who completed the Higher School of Military Academy (Виша школа Војне академије) received the badge and diploma. According to the Law on Military Academy (Закон о устројству Војне Академије) they had to pay some tax, but I doubt its amount had anything to do with the production material so I'm not buying the "poor students" story.

This makes sense, no one was stuck with a crappy badge because you were poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
