Here's one I just got. IMO an older version.
In the rather unfocused images you can see a mint mark at about 10 o'clock from the screwpost on the reverse.
Came with a nice Pobeda screwplate. I saw today another badge, similar but without the same MM but with the same Pobeda plate.
I think it might be a good idea to start a thread in the (non-fake) portion of this site about these specific badges. Andreas, you with me? :idea :rolleyes:
Some general info gleaned from a quick websurf:
Soviet Military School (or Acedemy) graduate badge, issued to the graduates of military schools. High quality piece made in Brass and "hot baked" enamels; shows maker mark on the reverse.
Width: 37 mm, height: 36 mm.
screw plate showing the late star-shaped mark of Pobeda Factory.
This "unified" type badge for all branches of service was introduced in 1957 and used until the collapse of the Soviet Union.
For Soviet junior level commissioned officer's (jr. lieutenant and up).
USSR military prize badge for graduation from a Higher Military School
Military Academy School "VU" badge
Academy - Академия,
Institute of higher learning - Высшее учебное заведение,
school - школа
