Hello all - I hope some members can assist me with a question. I am not sure if this is badge or medal, however I have this item that reads Vzorny Pracovnik VB along the front. Exemplary Worker VB, however I am not sure what VB stand for. Thanks for any assistance that can be provided.

Here is a photo of the badge.

Re: Badge "Exemplary Worker Of Public Security".

Ralph, thank you for posting the photo. I am very interested in seeing it - better. Perhaps you could get some clearer photos of both the obverse and reverse? It would be much appreciated.

Phillip

Excellent badge. Just out of curiosity, what are the measurements? I ask because if it is as small as I think it is, the detail work on the central piece is impressive.

Ralph,

Noticed a white "blotch" at the bottom of the reverse... is there a number beneath that has been censored? Just curious.

Re: Badge "Exemplary Worker Of Public Security".

Hello Phillip - Thanks for your follow up comments. The size of the badge width is 4.4CM. I hope that assists with your question.


Greg - Yes there is a serial number on the back of the badge that corresponds to a award document. I will have this badge with me when we see each other in May. :D

To the other forum members thanks for your like comments. :thumbsup
