Egorka Posted Monday at 19:21 Share Posted Monday at 19:21 (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 Monday at 19:28 by Egorka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megan Posted Tuesday at 08:43 Share Posted Tuesday at 08:43 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 Tuesday at 16:29 Share Posted Tuesday at 16:29 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 Tuesday at 17:19 Author Share Posted Tuesday at 17:19 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 Tuesday at 19:45 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:45 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...
