 |
$5,900.00 |
Rudzutak Advanced Training School for the Security
Command
Personnel of the Roads of Transportation (Railroads), 3rd
Graduation Class, #26, 1928 issue. A beautiful,
very
elaborately designed piece in hallmarked silver and
enamels
of
literally Faberge quality. In excellent condition.
A very small number of these badges were ever issued and
only
a few are known to exist today. Many of the high level
state
security / law enforcement officers who had graduated
from
the
Rudzutak School became victims of purges during the 30s.
An
arrest of the original owner usually led to the badge
being
confiscated and destroyed. Incidentally, Rudzutak himself
was
arrested, tortured and executed in 1938 thus making him
an
"enemy of the people" - and making ownership of the badge
bearing his name a very risky proposition!

schools
