Badge "In Memory Of The Soviet Army".

[enveroxa]

Hi friends I have a badge of Infantry to identify. Can you give me some information in more as the period of use and to whom was given? thanks

[CtahhR]

These were awarded for marksmanship to non-Soviet citizens attending Soviet Military Academies from 1950 to 1968. This example is missing the pendant that would have had the date on it.

Ok I thank you CtahhR, compliments for your competence. Do you think that it is an a little common object or particularly sought by the collectors? I imagine, but I don't have anybody confirmation that were few the non Soviet citizens that attended the Russian military schools from 1950 to 1968. Or mistake?

You are correct - this is a rare badge.
