Both of these are NOT sniper badges. They are Voroshilovsky Strelok, or Voroshilov's Shooter (or rifleman), badge. These were issued to various organizations (RKKA, NKVD) and both of yours are for OSOAVIAKHIM, a civilian, paramilitary organization meant to assist the military and prepare youth for military service. A BIG stretch of a comparison, but kind of a like a state sponsored NRA and the badges were for shooting well enough.

Examples with the second grade "II" device has been hard for me to find. I only have one, this RKKA. The II on mine is more detailed than the one on yours. I'd like to see examples from other collections for comparison.

OK thanks to both of you. These badges are offered as sniper badges. Could a mod move this thread into the fake Voroshilov thread please?
