It is nicely made as far as these types of badges go. It's not MMD official issue as you can see (the screw plate is much too old for the sword and shield symbol - that didn't start until the late 1950s). Having said that, it is most likely a piece from a regional or local republican office. It isn't the thin aluminum and it isn't one of the newer fakes trying to look like the official MMD main Moscow Office awards. I would definitely hold on to it. The lines are very hazy between "authentic" and "fantasy/fake" when it comes to some state security items. Do you think you could get a few more closeups on the ribbon - especially at the bottom - that are tighly focused? I'm trying to see something in both the enamel and the letters there.
Thanks,
Phillip
