Are you suggesting the following are not the same design (other than the 1917-1978 font and the "OO")? Click on link: http://soviet-awards.com/forum/attac...ear-kgb-oo-jpg

Re: Odd KGB 60th Jubliee
I though you were referrering to the item in post #8.
I stand corrected, the 2 you are referring to are indeed the same design. Apologies for the confusion. Tommy |

Re: Odd KGB 60th Jubliee
No problem Tommy, it was probably my poor description.
Quote:
In the book (the name has slipped from my mind, but it’s something like “awards of the legal protective organs of state security”... written by two authors) seems to suggest these badge were bestowed or awarded. Knowing what little I do, it would seem odd for the KGB to simply hand badges out to the masses. It would seem that the words “separate section” or “special department” might generate questions which (I think) would be discouraged rather than encouraged. I have always assumed the recipients would be “connected” and the giving of the badge would be more of a reward than a simple hand out or gift for showing up at a parade… but that’s just me. :D

Re: Odd KGB 60th Jubliee
I am reading a book about SMERSH now (though I'm not at home to give the author's name) and the chapter I am in has all sorts of tables and other info about the OO's since their inception in 1920-22 (as the precursor of the First Chief Directorate of the KGB). I'll get what I can for you as soon as I can - just remind me with a PM and/or email.
Phillip

Re: Odd KGB 60th Jubliee
Thank you Phillip.
I also recall there being "OO" under the 3rd Chief Directorate (Military Counter-Intel). It is also interesting to note the dates on the "OO" badge (1918-1978).
