Badge "Honoured State Security".

Honored State Security Employee, #3125, 1980s. Silver-plated brass, gilt and enamel. Mint marked, numbered, 2-piece construction. Late variation with prongs holding the star, and without horizontal relief “bars” on the reverse in the central portion. Mint mark to the bottom left.

This was the highest award specific to KGB officers, issued only to a very few for outstanding achievements. Note the serial number which is near the top of serial number range for this decoration, a strong indicator of relative scarcity

value apx 400-500 USD
