Aluminum, paint, lacquer, 42.9 x 21.4 mm. The reverse shows raised stylized letters ЛЭ ("LE"), the late-Soviet era logo of the Lenemalyer Factory in Leningrad. In excellent condition.

Despite its relatively humble appearance, this is definitely an official badge, not a souvenir. Commemorative badges of this type were awarded to various low ranking employees within KGB and its many axillaries - as opposed to the higher ranking badges in brass awarded exclusively to active duty KGB officers. Some of the aluminum badges were probably also given to KGB retirees.
