I'm sorry guys but I don't like this badge at all. The material doesn't look like nickle silver in the first place. The hardware gives me the creeps, this blackened set up just doesn't look right. The bent mark on top of the pin looks artificially made, instead of a true "bent" and the catch doesn't look like any of the variants I know.
I tend to agree with Giel that this one isn't right. The very dark patina is strange, looks artificial to me. The details on the obverse aren't bad, but the reverse hardware setup isn't quite right. Sergey, can you take some angled shots of the hardware, I think that is really the only chance this one might have. Based on these pics, I certainly wouldn't buy it.

If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little
