Re: Defence of Moscow Medal and Guards Badge.Opinions?
Hiya Dave,
Nice badge and medal. I am just starting in soviet stuff as well so I will give you what I know. The gaurds badge is post war I believe but looks good. The Moscow medal looks good with its brass hanger but I have never seen a ribbon with the dotted lone in the centre white stripe, plus the ribbon is folded the wrong way, so I would say replaced ribbon
Cheers
Jason

I concur, post war Guard's Badge, and replaced ribbon on the suspension of the Defense of Moscow medal. Not sure, but I think the screw plate for the Guard's Badge is also not matched.

Thanks guy's for your comments most appreciated.
If I could ask, with the Guards Badges how do you distinguish between the WW2 and post war variants.
Cheers.

I agree on the medals. If you guys want period WW2 medals, in know a good honest USSR medal/awards collector here in Moscow. I have sold a few to forum members earlier. Just saying If interested send me a PM.

Hi,
Guard's badge is a Victory factory manufacturing in the 80' s , screw plate is correct for this one .

Dave, the best way to distinguish the guards badge is on post war made items there is tassels under the flag, ww2 version there is not.
Datrus, I will keep that in mind, when I have some spare cash I might hit you up for a guards badge and an order of glory 3rd class
Cheers

With all due respect, Lars, isn't exporting orders and medals from the former Soviet Union illegal? Just wondering; don't want to get you into trouble, ahem. . .

Actually, there are a few wartime variations with this fringe; the best way to distinguish wartime badges is the pattern underneath the red enamel. Wartime variations have either a smooth, plain blackground or a strawberry pattern. All postwar badges have the wavy style as shown above.
