The only other one of these I have seen. Viewed about 7 or 8 years ago in a Russian Border Guard website. Has since been taken down, closed or what ever.
I purchased a documented medal along with a documented MVD egg to the same individual in 2005. Cost at that time was $700. Obviously the documented egg was the bulk of the cost, but the fact that the medal was documented to a KGB officer meant a lot.

This is a early Hungarian Communist Bade. Look in the Hungary section of the site under HUPR Distinction badges. This one is in the Artillery display, and my gusess would something like a forward observer.

It would appear that the order, #421, does not belong with the order booklet, #121. I could be wrong about this, as I don't read Romanian. What are others thoughts?
:unsure: Greg; In the 2nd badge, I'm not sure thats a minaret. I think its a river view of the Peter and Paul Fortress in Leningrad. Additionally the 3rd badge is from the MVD Academy in Leningrad, or so I've been told.
Christian; I count 105 on both sides of yours, although possibly 106. Its easy to lose count. McDaniel & Schmitt indicate 110 obverse and 111 reverse. Tom
Gordon; I picked up an identical badge about 7 or 8 years ago from a buyer in Czechoslovakia over ebay. It was sold to me as a partisan badge, which from the figures could be possible. However, my badge has no writing on the back. Would be interesting to find out for sure. Tom
Dan; Congratulations. I looked long and hard at this item, but couldn't get the seller to email any photos. Wasn't interested so much in the tunic, as the badges. Once again congrats on a great steal. Tom
According to Igor in NJ website: The 4th medal is for Outstanding Service to State, RPR issue. Awarded to employees of Romanian State Security Agency. Nice looking bar, I must say
