This is a cool badge manufactured in 1967 to veterans of the so-called "Red Latvian Riflemen" regiment, known for their loyalty, bravery, and ruthlessness. The award came in a set of two: huge badge below and a small lapel pin.
Interesting design that combines both the early and modern history of the riflemen.
