Hey Doc,

Did you get what you needed about this badge already? I hate to say it but you-know-who's website has (or had) these listed for sale and a good bit about them. In fact, I'm saving up for one to go with my ИМО badge. It isn't the best one I've seen, but it is the only one for sale I've seen.

Thanks Phillip,

It's been ID'd as a Ped School or a school for educating teachers.

Doc

the first badge you postetd is a : Polytechnic school of Arts and Human Sciences dark blue enamel

the same badge with light blue is for a Pedagogical school - (Pedagogicheskoe Uchilische) - Teachers College.

Have a look on Igors page he has dark blue onces and light blue ones.

The 4 sided badges are university level and the 6 sided badges are a level lower (like a advanced technical college, or Polytechnic school)

best regards

Andreas

below is a picture to see the colour differences in blue.
