Anyone ever see one of these?
The guy I go this from a while back said this was for the "voluntary police" of Mongolia. To me it looks more like a judicial/prosecutor or militia badge, 3rd class, because of the crossed swords and shield motif. It is logical that since the Mongolian security services were set up by the Soviets based on the Cheka (c. 1920), the other similar departments would have reciprocal symbols. It is brass and what appears to be paint with a pin-back attachment.
Thoughts anyone?
