Hard to say with the photo if the flag is white/blue/red, so I am assuming it is. Could be a RF badge?

Cleber,

I have never seen a genuine RF Medal, but I don't believe even for a second that this one might be genuine - just look how distorted the letters are.

Hi,
I picked up this example sometime in late 1993 - early 1994 not knowing if it was a legitimate follow-on or not. At any rate, it was very inexpensive. This was when a number of Russian -- as opposed to Soviet badges, medals and insignia were being produced. I believe it probalby to be a copy, but an interesting souvenir nonetheless.

Small world I just picked one up today and was wondering about myself.

Maybe Alexei can help with this one, and its value??

Guys,

I can't tell you for sure if these are fakes, or unofficial restrikes, made by the same factory, that produces the originals, but they can be obtained by dealers at $10-12 a piece.
