Hello, I'm not enough at ease with russian langage to venture into russian forums. Do you have any informations about faking of this badge? This picture is coming from "molotok".

ANd reverse! I'd said the enamels are correct in colors, and the engraving with rotating tool is typical of the Mint... But, but... we need to get paranoïd!

Sebastien,

Io non conosco questo badge, sono riuscito a trovare solo i 10 e 15 anni di servizio impeccabile e un documento 10.000 ore.
Sul tuo non vedo il marchio della Zecca.

I do not know this badge, I have found on the web, only a document 10.000 h, and For 10 and 15 Years of Excellent Service.
There is no mint mark?

Smaltato, ma sempre marcato... - with enamel, but always with mint mark...

For me good
Some examples:

MMD old type.
Inoltre ho scoperto che questo badge è estremamente economico, e non credo che ci sia la convenienza nel falsificarlo.

Copies of this badge I have not seen. All the badges are the same (besides types of marks of mint) and have different name at the shield with name of flight specialty and a number of flight hours. Shield "Flight Engineer" is infrequent.

My badges of Civil Aviation:

Wow nice

Nice set !

Stunning set Pakkenen! Really never seen these before..

Soviet civilian aviation was no exception indeed in terms of badges quality. Also when it comes to cap badges, Aeroflot cockades are worth the comparison with military ones

Thank you for your input. Indeed, I must decorate an aeroflot uniform with a few badges...

Gents, here's a novelty:

seems legit, enamels are ok. What decided me to buy is the document date: the s/n is coherent with the 1970ies years. Document seems ok, the 2nd stamp is more curious, with traces of erasing.

Seb,

It all looks good to me, even the second stamp.

Grazzie Marc!
One other good point: the screw has been shortened and have been polished by wear, certainly in order not to hurt its wearer with the light aeroflot uniform...

Here a copies of these badges. Sadly only a little picture.

They were made from opriginal dies and were marked on the reverse with a "C" in a circle.
They were created from a company called "Sovietski" that sold Soviet memorabilia shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Factory is now long out of business.

best regards
Andreas

Thank you! So these are a kind of offical copies...

Here is another one.

Original?

Genuine Andreas, imho without doubt.
Seb, nice set!

I agree

Andreas,

I definitely believe so.
