We forget that they had to produce millions of these badges in a short time period. At least with Red Stars, for example, they awarded two million over something like 20 years (+). |

Re: 25th Anniversary of Victory in WWII
Notice the reverse; not your usual blank but a semi-mirror reverse to it. I thought there was a thread discussing these but I couldn't find it. Maybe we can see some variations here, in thread under a correctly identified heading.
Notice also that the suspension loop looks to have been broken off and a hole drilled through the badge itself. This badge has a lot of wear and looks to have been proudly worn for a lot of years. I've also highlighted the makers mark in case anybody might be able to identify it.

Re: 25th Anniversary of Victory in WWII
Definitely a home repair job. All I can make out from the photo of the mark is a "Sh" but the next letter(s) escape me. Whoever it is took the MMD and LMD queue and encircled the main letters so perhaps a D for "Dvor" is either present or implied.:confused:

Re: 25th Anniversary of Victory in WWII
I have three variations in my collection. From left to right: the elusive brass variation (note patina), the most common "dish backed" aluminum variation, and a "nearly full reverse" aluminum variation.

Re: 25th Anniversary of Victory in WWII
The makers' marks are different for each of the three. Again, left to right: the brass variation, aluminum "dish back", and aluminum full reverse.

Re: 25th Anniversary of Victory in WWII
And, finally, to the one document (came with the "dish back")...

I notice that my reverse is an even less than "nearly full" version compared to yours, and the 'pin holder' on your brass version seems to be a seperatly applied piece like many 60s era badges have.

Re: 25th Anniversary of Victory in WWII
Thanks, Eric. Weird thing is I never intended to have more than one of these... they just sorta crept up on me- the one intentional acquisition was the brass which I got from Alexei. I believe Alexei had said, in a post awhile back, that he had counted 20+ variations of these badges.

Re: 25th Anniversary of Victory in WWII
Greg, I - like many others, I'm sure - have this document. Though I can't make out what rank this person had because of one letter I am too tired to keep trying to figure out.
The thing about these that I think is interesting is that small medal had an equally diminutive document (about 10.1cm x 7.1cm). I can easily see this document going missing.:) Phillip
