Egorka Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) Greetings! I don't think I have ever seen such engraving style on these OBH from 1936. I have a bad feeling about it... Edited October 7 by Egorka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megan Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 The sammler.ru thread you reference doesn't have a good face on view of the reverse AND the number has been partially obscured by the owner. Is it the same badge as the one presented above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Yes! Seems to the same. Different angle but scratches are at their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelwave Posted October 8 Author Share Posted October 8 I appreciate everyone’s concern to the authenticity of this award. I do trust the opinions of experts on Sammler.ru. I have also consulted with experts that I know personally and I believe this to be a real piece. although, like said before, I haven’t seen any numbers in this range with a similar engraving style either. to answer the question. Yes mine is the same award as the one posted on Sammler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstantin Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Lowest number I got is above 20,000 so cannot say anything on the engraving style. Labour awards are not on top of my interest, personal bravery medals attract me much more. I can advise you to compare it to the earlier Red Stars styles, think this hand is met there ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
