Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Soviet / Russian Membership Badge of the Association of Veterans of Foreign Intelligence Service.This is GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL badge issued to retired veteran KGB spies in the early 1990s – NOT a fake or fantasy piece like many other “KGB”, “GRU” and “FSB” badges we see on the market. The association and its membership badge were established in 1991, just before the collapse of the USSR.The badge is in brass (tombak alloy), gilt, nickel plating and enamels, of riveted two-piece construction. It is of miniature size, designed to be worn on a lapel of a civilian jacket, measuring 21.7 mm in height, 22.7 mm in width. The badge is EXTREMELY WELL-MADE despite its smaller lapel size. Its design is similar to the larger 1991 badge For Service in the SVR Foreign Intelligence. The inscription in the red band around the center medallion with the globe reads "Association of Veterans of Foreign Intelligence". There is a raised logo of the Moscow Mint on the reverse (the logo is of the style used only in late 1980s – early 90s, not later on.)The badge is in EXCELLENT CONDITION. It shows age but practically no wear. The pin attachment is fully functional. Please note, the penny in our last photo is for size reference. This SCARCE GENUINE PIECE can be a great addition to the collection of Cold War espionage awards and paraphernalia.FREE SHIPPING (USPS Ground Advantage Mail) WITHIN USA ONLY!
