JapanX Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 It looks like in 1940 regulation for these badges was changed. Two classes of this late badges are known. Both classes have no insciption on reverse and have simplified color schemes: plain copper and plain silver. Let`s take a look at them. Later badges "Copper badge" Nice example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any condition, even replica. Can you advese where can I buy one? If you are from Russian Moscow and can speak Russian, please feel free to write an answer in native language ;-) Valery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
