Vatjan Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Euuh, I'd like to see a picture of the reverses before offering an opinion about the authenticity Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley1965 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Those fakes remind me of the plastic toy sheriff badge for kids cowboy outfit!!Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
order_of_victory Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Are they real fakes or representative Soviet Badges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Makes you wonder why such things exist. Even eBay people aren't dumb enough for these, or are they? Were they, as Mike implies, childrens' toys? Like the plastic US medals that used to come in breakfast cereal boxes (and are now immensely collectible -- why did my mother throw them out?).

Stogieman Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 I honestly don't know.... cannot even remember where I lifted the photos. eBay, but might have been the UK one.... an awful lot of bad Soviet stuff in the UK for some reason. I just remember laughing when I saw the photo... none of the reverse offered, probably have safety pins on the back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudeman Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Are they real fakes or representative Soviet Badges?Because they are obviously not real, I too tend to believe that these had some purpose other than to deceive, i.e. as decorative devices on wall displays or some other kind of substitutes for the real thing. These have been around for a while and I don't think anyone (other than ebay ) would try to pass them off as the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
