SS Tuxedo badge for viewing…

I have a chance to get this, and was wondering what you all think of this, it seems correct, the screw on type pins on the back, and the solid nose, and the details seems to be spot on.

I know if this turns out to authentic, i could get some crap from others for showing the coveted back.

What would the value be at, considering the back plate, and screws are missing.


Please let me know.

Thanks
Brian

Question Soviet CCCP 11 Republics Crest - Hand Made

I have a CCCP Crest which belonged to my husband's grandfather who was captured by the Soviets and was not executed because he was a civil engineer and they needed to build roads. We don't know exactly where he got this or what it was originally attached to, possibly a flag. We were told that this could be worth over $500 and would like to know if anyone agrees with this.
It appears to be made of crushed velvet and possibly silk. It was clearly hand made.
