Okay, this one has me at a loss. If it is genuine, then it is the first one I've ever seen. First off, my experience has been that only the MMD minted the KGB anniversary badges for the All-Union level, but there is no reason to think the LMD was forbidden from doing so especially for the Leningrad KGB District branch (as it says in the inside of the award box - next post).
Though I've heard of the non-blue bordered badges that look like the 50th and 60th anniversary badges, this is the first I've even heard, much less seen a blue ribbon despite it making more sense than the red ones actually on the other types.
I will be watching this one, but there are a few questions for the seller I have about it. With the awardee's name engraved on the award box cover and all the other factors taken into consideration, I think it is safe to assume this could be just another "regional" example of a KGB award - quite interesting.:D
