Re: Academy badges for non-commissioned officer
I like very much these army badges, but I have none in my collection. I am not an expert then, however I do not see anything wrong in yours.
Re: Academy badges for non-commissioned officer
Here is a bunch a copies. For comparison, the upper badge is a common legit all-arms school badge.
As you see, gilding is too shiny, the hammer and sickle are too thick, enamels are too dark.

Andreas,
These are not my cup of tea, but they look good to me.

Re: Academy badges for non-commissioned officer
A few things I notices between fakes and orignals.
- sometimes hammer and sickle is different
- copies have a slightly thinner screw
- the tip of the screw is slightly sharpened by original badges
- for originals, under the red enamel, a "3" can be seen
- original badges are seen from the side more arched/bent as copies

Hello, thank you fpr the pictures! The "3" is a form, or a clear mintmark?

Re: Academy badges for non-commissioned officer
Not sure having understood... Is this "3"-shape under the red enamel a "must have" or just a "good sign for originality"?
Re: Academy badges for non-commissioned officer
Rocket,
It is a must have for originality.

Re: Academy badges for non-commissioned officer
Sorry, I meant the stamp feature is similar to "3". The engraver tried to depict the folds of the banner, which turned out to be similar to "3".

Re: Academy badges for non-commissioned officer
After looking at it later, I don't really like the badge.
The badge has a very flat relief. Many copies have very shallow relief (seen from the side).
I'll take pictures later.

Re: Academy badges for non-commissioned officer

You can clearly see the differences in the hight of the badges.
