Hello,

I bought this two badges years ago on a flea market. Are these two badges copies of imperial russian ones, or are they issued by the russian goverment after 1991. For what reason are they awarded.
Thanks for help

From what I understand they are for the merhcant marine and were specialist qualification badges.

The badge with the sextant is for skippers who conduct long distance voyages. The badge with the propeller is for 1st Class Shipboard Engineers.
