No specific point - just trying to offer some extra info about the imperial fore-runner of the Soviet era badge and a comment or two on how I remember the soviet badge was represented when it first appeared in the American marketplace...
By the way, thank you for the extra info on the Tsarist badge. I did not know that merchant marine officers could qualify for it, too. (I wish that there was a "Soviet Miltary Awards Page"-style forum for discussing imperial badges and jettons!)
