Danny Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Here is an image from a variation circa 1932-1936 with a serial number. There were numerous variations of this badge. This particular one is quite pricey.Ref: Badges of the Defensive Societies of the USSR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck In Oregon Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I have several variations of this badge, with hangers and with pins, but not the one that Danny shows. I think it is pretty hard to find that one. This CCCP - Second Step variant, silver and numbered, is also hard to find and the only example I ever came across "in the wild".Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) Vatslav Bronislavovich Lavrinovich (http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2326) had one too, but I'm not sure that the badge (a duplicate issue) that came with the group is his. His 1934 certificate.Will post the badge when I drag it home post-weekend. Edited November 25, 2005 by Ed_Haynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Would these badges have been awarded for passing a course? Like basic training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I didn't realize there were TWO scans combined in the first post either: one on top of the other we'd have seen it right away. Didn't think to LOOK "off monitor screen."Since the whole thing takes up less than 35KB of space, there are obviously technical skills involved far beyond my understanding! I'm just glad all this is in color and not black and white like television was until I was in college! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
