PMR Cap Badges.
These have proven somewhat difficult to come by- dunno why, just are. The first two are of the familiar light alloy and pronged back we've become accustomed to with Soviet cap badges. Neither of these have been issued- one still on the card, the other with protective sleeves on the prongs. The first is for police enlisted (other ranks) and the second is for a Border Guard officer. Note the difficulty in working with thick, white, opaque enamel on the Border Guard badge. Really "glops" up the works. The police badge is silver-finished; the Border Guard badge is gold-finished.

Re: PMR Cap Badges
This next badge, I'm told, is a General's cap badge. General of what, I'm not sure as I'm more used to General's badges having a gold finish- this one has a silver finish. Maybe Internal Ministry rather than Armed forces. But, it is heavy- possibly German Silver. It's screw backed with markings on both the badge and the wheel. The wheel bears the mark "RB", while the badge is marked (I believe) "Radyuga-Stile". I have no idea of this/these makers.
