Long range cruise badge

These badges seem to be a bit of a mine field

When compared to some other soviets badges these are practically a safe  bet

I've seen some Russian medals which are very expensive and didn't like the look of them

If ever you have any that you want to get rid of I would be interested.

I'm still interested in these two. I'm wandering if these may be original contemporary issue items. I've previously posted these in this topic but wandered if anyone else has seen these exact types. They're aluminium and obviously come from the same factory... I'm guessing Ukraine.  The interesting thing is the reverse designs are different to the obverse. The reverse of the Ukraine Sea Guard has the impression of a Russian Sea Guard badge of the same period. So is this a company making both the Ukrainian and Russian Sea Guard badges under contract but cutting costs by using one reverse die to form the badge shape or is it just a cheaply produced later copy? The other Russian sub badge has a surface ship reverse die. Could these still be correct or are these definitely modern restrikes?
