There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Are now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight The Who, Won't get fooled again

Me too. But...here are some shots of the main KGB badges I have now. Of course the NKVD egg is a replica (don't see me ever buying a real one) and the 60th and 70th anniversary badges are copies until I can find real ones to take their places, but the rest are real. There is that one at the bottom with a red background that I see in Avers but have never figured out what its a 1988 anniversary of. Any ideas - anyone?
And a couple of close-ups...that second one is the one I was asking about.
Also, if anyone knows what this one really is, I'd appreciate the help. I was told one thing by the fellow who sold it to me (along with the unknown one above) in Moscow, but I have my doubts. I've never seen one like this design since I bought this one. НКВД левая, КГБ правая и ВВ МПУ?
Sorry about the photo - it's all I had left after I cut the others for the previous pics.
Thanks Alexei. I've had it since the early 1990s and I've only kept it for nostalgic reasons.
But what about the one on the right in #210? As I said, I keep seeing it in Avers, but I don't know what the "ОУР" stands for and red isn't usually a KGB color.:confused:
Merci Danny,
It isn't a great loss if I never know what it was (or wasn't). But that one in #210 is beginning to drive me crazy. I can't find the acronym ОУР anywhere and until I posted the picture, it didn't bother me like it does now...:banghead
