Hello All,
I just purchased this badge and have been trying to do some research on it. Judging from the lettering and colors it should be the third type of the badge issued. I'd say it dates from the 70's or 80's can anyone confirm this? I haven't been able to find anything in my resources that states when the third type was issued. I was also wondering if this was a badge that was awarded to members of the division in later years or was it only for the members who actually fought in Lenino and Berlin. Any input would be welcome.
