Excellent!:thumbsup Is the 60th pin or screw back? What about the metal used in the 60th?

Both are pinned to the card and metal for both is aluminum.

Re: Georgian SSR KGB 50 and 60 Badges w/cards

It is another example of the 1980s KGB awards being far more subdued or low-key compared to earlier times when the KGB was still a well respected (or at least feared) entity. Their reputation was waining as was public opinion with them by the time the second award was issued, but this is a matter for discussion elsewhere.:)
