Good afternoon,
I picked this up as part of a lot, and can't figure it out. Not security services, which is my preference, but the plough and hammer indicate to me RKKA pre-1930s and the sabers made me think cavalry. Short of that, I have no idea.
The piece is beautiful; silver or gilded brass, five-piece riveted construction (star, shield & swords, lettering, laurels, and green ribbon) with hot enamel showing no visible cracks or chips. The makers marks on the back include an "84" on the right and one that I can't identify.
Thoughts? Guesses? Thanks!
