Badge "Excellent Sanitary Defence Of The USSR". - d-riemer - 12-01-2002
I have hardly ever seen a case for a Soviet Union award. The collectors of medals of other countries are much more into the cases or even envelopes issued with the awards. But here is a fancy case for an Outstanding Medic Badge. I wonder what is special about this badge for it to deserve this luxurious packaging.

I don't know about the case but the badge is very nice looking.

What a beautiful set!
Since bages like this were issued by a specific organization and not the state or Ministry of Defence (I can't see who issued this one though), it would be up to that organzation to decide how fancy (read expensive) to make the badge and case. The issuers of this badge must have been both very proud of its status and rather flush with cash at the time to go for such a nice design.

Thanks for your responses, Rusty and Shawn,
I better show you the badge a little closer because the badge seems to be made for display in its case not for wearing. The badge by itself is not that impressive, it does not even have a serial number.

How does the enamel look?
I mean is it as nice as the rest of Russian decorations?

Hi,
here is mine. Red cross badge with award doc.

Here is the Document. This example was awarded by the Ukrainian SSR Branch to Aleksandra Grigor'evna Shevchuk on 27th November 1973, #13177.
It very much looks like Pacman is overdoing it.
