Police Qualification Badge, 2nd class, 1990-94 issue.
Aluminum, paint, lacquer; measures 40 x 26 mm. Excellent condition; includes original screw plate.
Introduced in 1990, just a year before the collapse of the USSR, this badge could be issued to any police rank, unlike the similar larger Police EM / NCO qualification badge of 1972 type. The smaller badge remained in use only until 1994 and is far less common than the earlier model.
