Topographic Service/Surveyor insignia? - Kirov69 - 05-12-2011
Greetings! As a Geography student with an interest in Soviet history, I am very interested in finding and eventually getting my hands on insignia for the Topographic Services/Surveyor corps of the Soviet Army... However, I keep bumping into railroad trooper insignia, or things which I have been told as topographic services equipment which is labeled as belonging to Soviet railroaders.
Basically, what is really the Soviet Topographic Services insignia? Do they have any specific medals/decorations for that branch?

Welcome to the forum. Here is the military topographic insignia.
Topographic Service/Surveyor insignia? - RichieC - 05-16-2011
Приказом Заместителя НКО СССР № 257 от 22.06.1943 г. были введены эмблемы на погоны личному составу военно-топографической службы.
"This insignia was instituted by USSR order № 257 from 22.06.1943."
Here is my early (M43) example, the M55 version was somewhat smaller.
