Hello, I pick up this badge from romania and I was wondering what is it for? I know that it is most likely eastern bloc made.

Hey,
from the way of making it could be an aniversary badge or a badge of classification (best...).

Maybe someone speaks Korean here :)

It is the award for the members of a "Red Flag" company. It is a type of distinguished unit award for those units that demonstrated particular proficiency in both the military and political areas. There were four different versions of the badge depending upon whether it was the first, second, third, or fourth award of the flag (there is in fact a special flag that the unit carries). I can't recall off the top of my head, but I think that your badge is for a first or fourth award.

And, if original - it´s clearly made in North Korea.
