Follow this link to see other assorted Soviet items I have for sale. For the last couple of years there were a lot of items sold that I will neve be able to find again. They were purchased by Marty Goodman from Canada. Would these badges be worn by KGB officers or are they replicas. I have many other replica styles in my collection.
Many collectors believe they are nothing more than fakes made for collectors.
I would really appreciate an answer from your source as this would be very interesting information and would clear up the many theories about these KGB badges. Pins were an integral attribute of the Soviet society. They were intended as small statements which demonstrated the unity of the Soviet people. Pins made people equal. Now the Soviet Union is gone.
