In my oppinion the badge in post 2 is good.
There are 4 different badges of this type.
1. - reverse flatback with number (see post 1 and 2)
2. - reverse flatback without number
3. - counter-relief reverse with number
4. - counter-relief reverse without number
In total around ~ 149.000 pieces were made by Leningrad mint.
Paul, are you sure that these badges were not numbered by the mint?
Are they numbered by the military units who gave them out?
As the writing style of these badges is always the same I think they were numbered by mint personel.
best regards
Andreas
