K396 "Novosibirsk Komsomlets".
Here is a Soviet Naval Badge for the submarine K396, "Novosobirskiy Komsomol" (VLKSM) Badge commemorating (?) the submarine K396, "Novosibirsk" issued, I was erroneously informed, in the 1970's. . .

Re: K396, "Novosobirskiy Komsomol"
I have been informed this is a Navy Badge and not a Komsomol Badge at all. Also the time frame of manufacture would be no more than the last fifteen years, not the 1970's as I initially thought. My thanks to the invaluable feedback from my colleagues!

Re: K396 "Novosibirsk Komsomlets".
Additionally, given the 15 year window for manufacture, it has been posited, could this badge even be legitimate (post-Soviet), or perhaps even, gasp, a fantasy piece, perhaps a souvenir piece from the above-mentioned museum?
I welcome your collective best thinking on the matter, no pun intended. Last edited by Bill Garvy; 06-02-2013 at 10:25 AM. |

Re: K396 "Novosibirsk Komsomlets".
I'd opt towards fantasy as it resembles the KGB coast guard ship series. It is also an appealing and collectible craft, not a more mundane ship like a trawler...

Re: K396 "Novosibirsk Komsomlets".
I also note the subtle discrepancy between the actual vessel and its depiction on the badge itself.
