Kiev River Fleet School (KRI) of the USSR River Fleet
Ministry, graduate badge, circa 1960s.
Brass, enamels; 50.1 x 28.0 mm. Two-piece construction: the
anchor with large Soviet emblem is a separate, superimposed
part. The inscription in red stripe near the bottom is the
abbreviated name school КРУ ("KRU"). The letters МРФ near the
top stand for Ministry for River Fleet. Very well made and
attractive piece.
In excellent condition. The enamel and details are prefect.
Very attractive, even patina to brass on both the obverse and
reverse. The screw post measures approx. 6.5 mm, probably
slightly reduced but fully functional. Original screw plate is
included.
