I have serious problems believing that this is an NKVD badge. There has NEVER been an NKVD or other Soviet state security issued badge commemorating anything other than the VChK-NKVD-KGB line. They were always totally seperate from the military and in general looked down on them. It just makes absolutely no sense. Also, an anniversary badge without the date or years on it?
I don't doubt that a website said so. I would like to see the site. If this is a vendor I would have serious doubts. While most vendors are honest many others are prone to exageration or even fraud. I have seen websites advertising everything from common 1980s era wreathed star hat badges to Orders of the Red Star as NKVD or KGB stuff.
