Thanks Ade, it and the excellent machine gunner badge are on ebay and i intend buying them. i am always a little nervous about buying off ebay and am pleased to have my opinion backed up by knowledgeable persons such as yourself.

best wishes

I must concur with my esteemed collector colleague; it is a fine period Guard's Badge.

For reference, here is a repro Guards badge, sold as such by Trident.

Cheers, Ade.

Yep, an original WW2 Guards Badge. The screwplate is a variation from the Pobeda Factory in Moscow that I haven't seen before.
