Photo ID of NKVD Squad Leader, December 1941 issue by the NKVD
Police Directorate of the Stalino (Donetsk) Region in Ukraine.
This highly unusual NKVD ID has plain cardboard cover instead
of the standard pre-war rubberized cloth or leather binding -
apparently an expediency reflecting the dire situation with
supplies in the first months of the Patriotic War. In
excellent condition.

Photo ID of a State Security Senior Lieutenant, a Section
Chief with the NKVD of North Ossetia Autonomous Republic,
1943. The photo shows the owner wearing a badge of
Distinguished NKVD Employee on an M-43 uniform. Comes with
a special free railway transportation pass from February 1941
issued to the same officer.
A very interesting and uncommon set.

ID Card of an NKVD Border Guard, 1942 issue.
Shows that he served as Border Guard since 1939, was promoted to Sergeant in June 1941 (just days before the German invasion) and then convicted for unspecified crimes. The ID was issued just before he was sent to the front, apparently after having his rank restored.

Honorary Certificate issued in August 1939 to the wife of an NKVD Naval Border Guard officer
in Leningrad Region. She was given the certificate and a monetary reward for winning first prize in NKVD sports competition. Nice artwork specifically designed for NKVD: shows NKVD Internal Army trooper guarding the industrial installations and NKVD Border Guard on patrol near a border marker. In very good condition.

Honorary Certificate in Commemoration of the 20th Anniversary
of NKVD Border Guards, February 1941 issue. A very ornate
document featuring portrait of Stalin, Border Guard flag, and
a Badge of Distinguished Employee of NKVD. Hand-signed by
Lt. General Sokolov, chief of the Soviet NKVD Border Guard
Directorate and one of the highest ranking NKVD
commanders. This very impressive and uncommon document is in
very good to excellent condition.

Honorary Certificate issued in October 1944 by an NKVD Correctional Labor Camp.
Awarded for completing the assignment - laying a part of the main track of the Baikal-Amur Railroad - 82 days ahead of schedule. Unusual and colorful artwork features portraits of Stalin and Lenin and a railway train speeding through the forest.
