Badge for building the Moscow Metro:

There are three badges dedicated for building the Moscow Metro.

Short history of Moscow Metro:
The first line of moscow metro was built 1935
The second line of moscow metro was built 1938
The third line of moscow metro was built 1944
You can see the dates and the line number on the badges.

The badges were awarded to senior engineers, administrators and communist party bosses that supervised the construction, as well as NKVD officers that guarded the laborers. Sadly, as in these time common, moscow metro was
built with slave labor.
I think about 20.000 of each badge were awarded. Different badges exist. The 1935 badge with lower numbers has engraved serial numbers and different srew plates.

Today moscow metro is 269,5 km long and there are 165 stations.
Dayly 9 million passengers are transported.

In 1931 the central comitee decide to biult a metro in moscow.

Fist line 1935
work beginn : 15. Mai 1935
11,6 km long between Sokolniki and Park Kultury (red line)

Second line 1938
8,5 km long between Ploschschad Swerdlowa and Sokol (green line)

Third line 1944
7,1 km long between Kurskaja and Ismailowskij Park (blue line)

No expert on these but I hope it's real. I realy like those subway badges.

Yeah, they are pretty cool. I'm hoping to obtain the 2nd and 3rd in the future. I just hope I can get a second opinion here. Can anyone recommend a reputable authentication service? Appreciated

I like it. From first glance all the details are there. If it is a copy, they did a great job.
