Badge "State Automobile Inspectorate".
I accidentally bumped on this militia badge on Ebay. I dug around the site more, and found several for sale with individual serial numbers (naturally). A pretty cool looking badge! There's a mint mark on the back too.
Do you guys have ideas about dating? Looks 80's to me. How about use? Traffic police? |

Re: Police badge
Traffic police or equivalent. I think GAI represents State Automobile Inspectorate or something like that. Looks fairly recent (as in 80's).

Re: Police badge
Yes, it's the traffic police. They still fall under this name in many former republics.

Re: Police badge
Thanks guys. I'll pick this up on Ebay and start my own police extortion racket in the great style of the Russian militia. "No papers? It's Lubyanka for you, man, unless my wallet gets fatter fast".

Re: Police badge
It's still GAI actually. Check this out: GAI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Re: Police badge
When I as in Russia in 2005 it was called DPS (Dorozhno-Patrolnaya Sluzhba - road patrol service). But lately I have rean an artickle in which they still call it GAI (Gosudarstwiennaya Avtomobilnaya Inspektsiya). So maybe they have returned to the name.

Re: Police badge
Maybe DPS is a branch of GAI?
