Honored State Security Employee badge, Variation 5,
unnumbered, circa mid to late 1980s issue. Unlike vast
majority of Honored KGB Badges, this exceptionally rare piece
never had a serial number. A rather scarce version in and of

also a textbook example: it is prominently featured in
the reference book "Cheka" by Robert Pandis (C. 2017) In
excellent condition. A truly unique opportunity for the
advanced collector of Soviet law enforcement awards.

outstanding condition.

officers. This extremely scarce decoration is almost never
available on the open market. In near mint condition.

|
 |
$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!
