Peppe864 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Hi guys! Not my field of collecting. I don´t know if this poor one is a real cap badge or a crap badge? Cany anyone shed some light on this issue? My research indicated that it might be a cap badge, or at least want to resemble one 😃 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Looks as a cap badge for Territorial Army for Christians ,the non Christians used a plate . the quality of Imperial Rusian Army pieces of uniform varied enormously , 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Gaumann Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I may be wrong but I seem to recall this being described as a 'militia badge'. I would also lean, slightly, towards it being authentic, but it's way out of my main fields of collecting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
