They are extrimelly rare, produced probably in blockaded Leningrad, the quantity is around 1000 pieces. This known examples are from the Russian archive.

The cross " FUR RAUB UND MORD " is disputable as it is for certain not known, whether was issued such in Leningrad in time WWII. Only I can tell, that supporters and at the given cross suffice opponents.
IMHO: I think, as is not confirmed documentary from archives of the Ministry of Defence and other sources, is fiction.
More than 15 years back I've seen it by myself, and it's not a fake.
