Hungary Onkentes Rendor

Recently received a badge for a Voluntary Policeman, which I assume is the equivalent of the Soviet Druszhnik. I nearly overlooked it because the central wheat shaft over the cog looked, at first glance, to be some sort of agricultural badge. This particular example is a heavy alloy with hot enamel... I have seen the same badge with cold enamel. Standard pin back.

This next piece is a 5 years of service (in the Voluntary Police) badge. This one has a blue surround. I've seen 10 and 15 year badges with a white surround, with the blue surround reappearing at 25 years. I imagine there is a 20 year badge though I have yet to see one.

This is the only insignia I've been able to come up with regarding this organization; if anyone else has anything, please post it here.

In the same general vein, a Border Guard Volunteer badge (cold enamel).
