Badge "30 Years Of Turkestan Military District".
Does anyone know what this Order is, or even if it is an order? It is of silver and blue enamel, a red enamel star, and a silver bust of Stalin that is a separate piece. It is 3 inches in height and has a serial number on the reverse.
I acquired it several years ago, but have never seen anything like it. Any commenst or information would be appreciated. GeoKeith |

Badge Details
The text "ТУРКЕСТАНСКИЙ ВОЕННЫЙ ОКРУГ" on the badge is equivalent to TURKESTAN MILITARY DISTRICT.
The "XXX" at the top is probably representing 30 so I guess this is a badge for the 30th Anniversary of the Turkestan Miltary District. Others with greater knowledge will be able to confirm this. Simon Last edited by UQWozza; 12-01-2007 at 02:18 AM. Reason: Typos |

I second the motion.
Assuming the district was formed in the early 20's, this would be from about 1952. Stalin died in '53. A very appealing and early veteran znachok. Is it silver? |

Yes, the XXX Turkmenistan Order/Badge is made of silver (the metal). The number engraved on the back is #082.
