Soviet Naval "Long Distance Voyage" Badge

[Guest Rick Research]

Not the official pattern, and the only one I have ever seen. Have had this since the Wall came down:

[attachmentid=59995]

Hard metal, great enamel, and the separate waves and ships suggests a stock item that other designs could be used too. But I have never seen any other in this style.

Dear Rick,

very nice badge and well done .

I also have never seen your badge before, but it looks authentic and genuine. I have a normal "Long Distance Voyage"-badge for submariners and the material, quality of enamel and the structure of the rv. (also with needle!) is at the same high level.

Might be a very late type of the badge .

Best regards

Christian
