Another interesting and almost unexplored area is badges issued by "lower bodies". Most badges are issued by the order of the Ministry of Defence, or KGB, or Komsomol, etc. However, some badges are issued by comanders of lower bodies/sub-bodies and ore only legit in these sub-bodies.
For example, there were anniversary badges issued by the Republican KGBs, the choice of putting a name plaque on an academy badge or higher school bage was up to the school commander.
I wonder if these variations were done by local units - say the GSFG?
