Here are a few more examples. Illustrated here are badges from various higher academy badges.
The generic academy badge and the naval engineering academy badge (the 2 badges on the left) have the same type of construction as the mint-marked military college badge. The Frunze naval academy badge and the Kuybeschev engineering academy badge (the 2 badges on the right) are similar to the non-mint marked military college badge. Note the evenness of the rays on the star, and the overall fit of the assembled pieces (exposed parts of the star underneath the crest, the reach of the horizontal star arms on the badge, the fit of the crest flat against the star). The Kuybeschev badge's crest is exposed copper, which may not show clearly because of the lighting.
