Georgian Workers and Peoples Militia 5-Year Jubilee
Large silver badge, very complex and must have been very difficult to make. I count 13 (!!!) pieces, plus the screw post and screw plate, as follows: 3 plates, 6 letters, two arrowheads, V device, 1-piece hammer & sickle. 3 rivets. The black enamel is not high quality and the black on the back looks kind of like a hot dip of some sort. There are no hallmarks. Letters, center devices and arrowheads appear to be solid gold.
It is pretty clear that this was a Georgian Workers and Peoples Militia five-year jubilee badge, circa 1926, most likely only for senior officials and officers. This is not a run-of-the-mill piece for the ordinary workers. It is likely a locally commissioned piece and issued in very small numbers. My MVD and historian buddy estimates 20-40 pieces in all, perhaps fewer. I believe that this piece is uncatalogued and unknown in the west. There are unlikely to be more than a handful of surviving examples. |
