Ahh, It is a a Nahkimov Naval school graduates badge DanUSSR Badge, Nakhimov Naval Schools Graduates Badge. The Leningrad Nakhimov Navy School Graduate Badge , The school was created upon the Decree of the Council of the People's Commissars of the USSR of 21 July 1944, along the lines of a cadet corps, to teach and bring up children who became orphans during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45 to create Officers and naval foremen. graduates of the school gained sea experience on the Navy's military and training ships, taking part in long-distance sea cruises, in Leningrad garrison troop parades, and, from 1946, in military parades in Moscow. Hop this nails our mystery!

Never come across that Nahkimov badge Dan, it is superb, hope that we can find out more about it, will keep my eyes open.

Thank you for taking the time and effort, much appreciated to see your great collection.

I think that your wife deserves a medal? Happy New Year!
