Commemorative badges of this type was awarded to the current employees of the KGB of the USSR low ranking and veterans of the KGB of the USSR.
The badge is a memorable reward and was not intended to be open to wear. The badge was kept at the place of service or at the place of residence of the employee.
Brass, gilding, paint, lacquer
48mm x 26mm
The badge was made privately.
The badge from the old collection.
Not so many official badges of the KGB of the USSR. This is due to the closed nature of this organization.
Therefore, many collectors turn their attention to the badges of the regional departments of the KGB of the USSR and to badges that were made privately at that time.
Some of the KGB officers wanted to have a badge of the department where he worked as a souvenir. Some were not given an official badge and the employees ordered them privately.
Plus, the KGB employee's badge was made only in the main colors of the KGB of the USSR (cornflower blue), and the employees of certain directions wanted to have a badge in the color of their unit. For example, green is the color of the border troops of the KGB of the USSR.
I cannot attribute these badge to copies, since they do not copy the official badges, but are made with significant differences.
You yourself must decide how you treat such badges and whether you need these signs in your collection.
With pleasure I will answer any questions and make additional photos.
