Aharim,
My jaw just hit the table! You are the 2nd collector I know to have these gold badges. There seems to be much discussion about these - I would imagine Mekhonoshin did not include them in his book because he was not sure what they were. A fellow collector from Georgia swears that they are TsIK badges. Accorgind to him, they were all custom made, so there are at least several variations.
