Kreuz des 5 . Don-Kossaken-Reiter Regiments

[LeonT]

Hello trondk is absolutely correct in his assessment of the badge.
It truly is a post wR reproduction of the don Cossack badge.

Please read the post from the beginning and you will be able to identify an original badge.

The badge that you show is just another Eastern European copy of an original badge

And yet another variant to be added to the post WW2 badges.

This one actually has a makers name on the back!

Friends, original or a fake?

[Saladin]

Hello Jame this is a fake based on the munchen9 badge for me

Hello All, just keeping things updated.

Here is a new monster reproduction just coming on the markets.



It's just another awful variation of the Munchen 9 piece with updated backstop and a very poor attempt at ageing



Cheers
