Hi guys
Someone could help me id this badge?
I know the scan is not very good but I just have this one.
I just saw this badge one time in a book and it says "Armored Specialist Badge"...any extra informationa and average price would be apreciated.

I'm not sure if it is. Although I can't find this series in some of the badges book that I own, I did find them in the Soviet Medals and Badges, by Phil Bartel and Ivan Karnes plate number 72. According to this book there were two types: First type in the 50's were SB and the second type after the 50's was PB. In comparing them to the tank proficiency badges, they seem constructed the same way. I just received a serie of 1st, 2nd and 3rd classes of these Armor Vehicle proficiency badges. Unless I can be pointed in the right direction, I would have to say that they are Soviet.

Here is the set I just bought. They are also pinbacks.
I was able to obtain a bit more information on this series of badges. They are Soviet and came out at the same time as the tank proficiency badges but were only in circulation for a few years and were replaced by the combined arms badges. This info courtesy of Othlichnik (Shawn).
