UML badge with the diploma:
The badge I posted also has smaller heads, but the color of enamel is different. What does it mean? Best, William

No source I have found seems to know the difference in the badge variations. There are three options.
1) The pessimist - many are fakes made by greedy badge companies. 2) The neutral - the design changed over time. 3) The optimist - the different badge designs refer to different schools, (day and night, Moscow and Leningrad etc.). The truth may be a combination of all three options. Shawn

Notice, both Ed Hayes and my badges have the state seal a bit off center...
I believe mine to be genuine... otlichnik: you bring up very interesting points! Rusty.

Shawn,
In this case the pessimist is right, those badges are still being coined in the Baltic States. I know this for fact, but I have never asked my supplier for pictures of those fakes. Alexei Quote:Originally posted by otlichnik

Look at this one - it has rays beneath the red enamel:

Yet another version...

Forgive me if I am stating the obvious here but would the initals not stand for ooniversitat marx lenin? I have seen the blue version for sale more so that the red version but as Nota Bene this is irelavent due to the number of fakes being produced.
