Badge "Excellent People's Education".
I'm pretty well aware by now that this has just become a thread for me to display excellence in education badges, but everybody knows that doesn't stop me.:)
Here's a gorgeous Georgian SSR People's (Public) Education badge - no document yet - and then an enigma. First, the normal one - I believe is is a Type 2 with an excellently well preserved enamel star on top and some very nice gold lettering on/in the enamel on the book face. At least I think it's enamel (see next badge); it could be paint, but I doubt it from the Moscow Mint and from that time period (post-war through 1950s). I've also seen these both numbered and unnumbered (as in this case), but I don't have any documents to know what the normal procedure was. Since I've only seen one numbered, I'm inclined to think it was unusual or that one was done to make it more "valuable.":rolleyes: Phillip

As a rule of thumb, earlier badges tended to be numbered. As the awarding policy changed (eg, they started to distribute them much more liberally than at the beginning), most badges stopped being numbered. Marc |

re: Education-related Badges and Documents
Yeah, I know what you mean. In general, the numbered badges of this type that I have seen have all been 3 digits, no more.
Now, here's an odd variation of the above type 2 of the Georgian badge above. Type 3 was a round medallion suspended on a small pin-back suspension. But this is very odd. It can't be a post-communist badge, but it is missing the star on the top. The H&S are badly formed and almost not there at all. So, it isn't a blank even though the badge at this stage is nickle or chrome plated and there is no text on the open book. The screw is also considerably wider than the complete badge. So, what is then? Enigma.:weird Phillip One more thing: in natural light, the badge looks shiny and silver without any discoloration that I think was reflections in the photos.

It looks like it was struck from a very worn die. Marc |

Re: Education-related Badges and Documents
Phillip, your Armenian badge should have black and white enamel.
I think it's damaged. Last edited by CtahhR; 08-13-2012 at 03:58 PM. |
