Re: Soviet Metro Kaganovich Badge 1st construction Period
This is a bit off topic, but when they switched to green plastic tokens and particularly in the 1990s, the rumor on the street (or below it) was that because of the crazed fear of counterfeit - well, everything - and the fact that with rampant inflation they were often used as "currency" - the government had irradiated the "real" tokens and guys had to be a bit careful about carrying them around in their front trouser pockets. Of course it was all rubbish, but it was a good urban myth for a while.

I suppose now all you need is one of the old railway carriages to display these goodies in!

Re: Soviet Metro Kaganovich Badge 1st construction Period
I'm sure you'll track them all down sooner or later. At least having tracked down a picture you know you're looking for something that exists, that's usually the first step in getting to own something. It's amazing what you've tracked down so far and I'm sure you have a truly gobsmacking display array.
