This is an old thread, but it has the right title.
I have a badge nearly the same as the one pictured below (exact same wording and design) and paid a small amount for it (as somebody else just did on ePay, I believe). The question I have is two parts. First, what level of deputy is this? If it is in line with the Soviet versions, then is this a regional (rayon/oblast) badge? Third (;)), the reverse of this one is textured and the seller called it the "old type." The one I have has a smooth back with a much older looking and more "refined" pin and hook system - obviously either made at a different mint or at a different time period. Anyone know more about these?
