      The maker name is not very crisp or bold so ...I'm still not 100% sure if I trust this one either ..I'd think an original would have more detail on the back

          Also ...I found a Medal that I bought from POH years ago ...another Russian Front Service award. I read that the originals had the makers name on the bottom arm of the Cross ...this example doesn't have that which leads me to believe that it's post war.
          The quality isn't there

              I have in my hands an fake badge and I take some pics of comparison
              between the original and fake badge, the pin of repro is long than
              the original details of the written and the finish are different.
              cheers

              "six italians, dressed in rather unusual diving suits and equipped with materials of laughably little cost have swung the military balance of power in the Mediterranean in favour of the Axis".

                    an interesting photo of the original communication of 8^ Armata
                    12 May 1943 about the commemorative badge Fronte Russo produced
                    by Lorioli Brothers of Milan; the cost of this badge was 6 Lire.
                    cheers, Raffaello
