paja Posted November 18, 2016 Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Just saw this Russian emblem in an ad, any chance it could be original? I presume it's for Adrian helmet, its dimensions are 70x65mm. Edited November 18, 2016 by paja
Tony Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 I can't speak for the badge itself even though the reverse looks a little fresh around the edge to me, but I always thought the prongs had rounded ends rather than square and that the soldering was done near to where the prongs would be bent, or from top to bottom rather than one join in the middle. My thoughts are based on several original French helmet badges I've seen. Tony
Stuka f Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 No good at all. Bad finish and artificially aged.
paja Posted November 21, 2016 Author Posted November 21, 2016 Thank you, gentlemen! I had my doubts but I'm not an expert on Russian items...
