Meritorious XXXX of the RSFSR

[Keith]

Hello Lauri!

Is there a badge that goes with this, or only document? You can send the picture if you want. It is my understanding that Estonia only had 5 badges with the actual name of the honored title on them. Imagine the fun we would have if there was a full set of these Estonian badges like there is for all the other republics. I believe that Estonia is the only republic that did not have a separate badge for each title. I don't collect these Russian honored badges themselves, I only collect the pictures for them. They might be fun to collect, but it is too frustrating to try and get items like this out of Russia - and very few of these have made their way to the west.
