    Thought I'd add a couple of mine... an Excellent Worker badge, probably from the '60's (standard pin back). I'm not sure of the pursuit here- the graphics seem to indicate metallurgy or something along this line. The enamel on the star has held up well on this example; some of the silver plating has rubbed off the central disc.

    This next badge is the older version of the badge shown in post #17. It's for an Excellent Worker of Communications. This version of the badge was awarded by the Ministry of Communications; newer versions were awarded by the Ministry of Transportation. The tower and letter combination in the center appears to be silver, while the rest of the badge is bronze. A very well made piece which was probably awarded in the late '40's-'50's.

    Here's an Excellent Worker of Public Health badge (second type; un-numbered) with document from 1965. While my reading of block Cyrillic is OK, I could use help on reading this "long hand" upper and lower case. Any translation help is appreciated. First the badge- standard pin back brass with hot enamel.
