Chris,
It's not a fantasy piece, but a copy of one of those OGPU award badge, that were given in the early 1930s. Most of them were destroyed in 1933 and exchanged for standard Government awards. I believe there were 3-4 different types of these badges. All are extremely rare. The one pictured is of course a fake. Alexei |

Chris,
Say, I think I have deal with that same guy .... ;) Alexei, The Kutsenko and Rudichenko book shows about three of the badges and this is a different design. I wonder how many there were all told? Any idea who issued them?? Was it the actual OGPU or a regional office or a personal jeweller made item?? Shawn |

Shawn,
I really don't know. This area of early Soviet badges still awaits it's researcher. I understand that the general practice was that an organisation wishing to award it's employes would order a bunch of those badges designed and made from a jeweller or a factory. Interestingly the "Blue book" shows the same badge, but without the center piece. Alexei |
