I agree. Making a duplicate of a sports badge doesn't make much sense.

Found this one, it has a Cyrillic "G".

Could it be that the serial numbers could not go passed let's say 999,999, and then restarted all over again with a letter in the front?

It's more likely that there are that many were issued.

Bigger is numbered;691388.

Sako,

They are GTO badges. The large one is probably from the the 1940's. The small one is related to air defense, and could be from the late 1930's.

Do you know meaning of the letters around CCCP text in that square box above the GTO mark? I have seen some with only CCCP text...

I believe the top "TsIK" is "Central Executive Committee" and the first two letters of the bottom "VS" should be "All-Union" and maybe the bottom "FK" is "fizkultura" or "physical training".
