Gentlemen,

The s/n. 1285. That badge is every now and then on the market.

Does anybody know more about that badge ?

Many thanks for your information .

Dear Chuck,

these badges are not SOOO rare, you found them frequently on auctions for prices of about USD 1.000,- or even less in the USA and Europe.

But it's a nice and rather typical badge for that era in the Soviet Union.

Best regards

Christian
