Kabul House-Construction Plant Badges.
#1
Recently bought on e*** as "labour badges". Apparently for the same organisation. The coat of arms with the coran denotes a pre 1987 made.
Soviet made by the same mint.

What are they exactly ?

I never saw badges like these before, only medals. Did anyone know if badges like "best soldier", sport badge, parachutist... did exist ?

Hi Felix,
Yes badges do exit, these badges are for the building of socialismus and as you state correctly different time periods.

Thanks Eddie.

Do you think these badges are some kind of award or just propaganda stuff worn by everybody who wanted to support the communist governement ?

By the way did someone have pictures of military badges ?

Felix,
I suspect they are for some kind of merit in this field not only propaganda badges. If i find any more types i'll post them here.

КДСК was Кабульский Домостроительный Комбинат (The Kabul House-Construction Plant).

Thanks for your reply (after 11 years !!!). Maybe a "best worker badge" ?

I think both Badges are different Types of the same award, I believe the black word is "Construction", so maybe "Excellent Construction Worker".

The KDSK was a Soviet venture but will have been augmented by Afghani staff.

If this is "House-Construction Plantit" it is most likely a "houses factory" - a factory that produces pre-fabricated elements for the "large plate" blocks of flats that were so popular in all the East Block.

This is one of the buildings thrown up by the KHCP.
