Workers' Party Of Korea Badges. - Page 2

I know there's another section with "Kim Il Sung badges", but now they're called Worker's Party of Korea badges because of a mixed usage of both Kim Jong Il, and Kim Il Sung.

Most of you have probably seen the regular, standard ones, so I'll upload a picture a friend of mine took in the DPRK with a rather uncommon Kim Jong Il badge made of an excerpt of the latest official portrait, also used in his funeral etc.

Nice looking lady... Oops, I mean badge. :D

The elder version of the traffic-control uniform.

With a rather rare and uncommon version of the WPK badge.

Here is the latest in the series of Flag Badges. Dating from late 2012 and apparently only issued to service personnel of the Ministry Of State Security.

How secure is that source?

The edge of the badge is quite pixelated...
... as if "placed there" by a software.

Good source. Pixelisation due to resizing etc.

It's pretty much the natural progression.

I think if you look hard enough you can find some photographs of State Security in physical contact with Kim Jong-Un wearing the Badge.

It's just a matter of time before real and fake ones hit the market.

Hah, I've looked hard enough. Only some very special parts of the State Security Department have gotten these, and it might only be them too, because of their very special ties to the Supreme Commander.

Here's where it all began back in the 1950's using this design - http://soviet-awards.com/forum/sovie...de-unions.html

Gilt copper.

Here is another Variation of the earliest incarnation of the Badge (this example has only one line of beads in the inner border between bust and outer border for example).
