The second one issued to Lt. Colonel Ilushin was from "Head of the Higher Courses of the All-Union KGB, Major-General V.V. Titarenko" on 15 December 1989. Though the text and document are exactly the same, I believe this one to be for completion of a course (for obvious reasons).;)
Both documents have the same profile portrait of Dzerzhinsky on the left side with his famous quote: "A Chekist can only be a man with a cool head, warm heart and clean hands."
Since neither of these directly say "Border Guard" it is difficult to tell if that is indeed what they were for. The seal of a military unit is what convinces me that either Corporal Ilushin was in the BG (which the KGB BGs were not part of directly) or these are fakes.:confused:
