CheKa-OGPU Marksmanship Jetton. - Nota Bene - 07-25-2002
Gentlemen,
I thought I'd share this one with you. It's a 1930 CheKa-OGPU Medallion for marksmanship. The text on the reverse says: "Chekist fighter needs firm hand to fight enemies of the proletariat. December 20, 1930". This piece was obviously not designed to be worn.

CheKa-OGPU Marksmanship Jetton. - Kjetil Kvist - 07-25-2002
What a nice jetton.
Note the M1895 Nagant 7,62 'gas-seal' revolver. A favourite among tank crews during the war.
Could you please post a picture of the engraving on the reverse?
