Description: Soviet award badge "From the Antiaircraft Troops of the Country" This is a 100% GUARANTEED ORIGINAL Soviet-made badge, not a replica! The badge is of SPECTACULAR QUALITY. It is made in solid brass with gilt, silver plating, and "hot baked" Enamels. Shows Kremlin with superimposed fighter jets and rockets flying over it. Measures 42 mm in width. There is a raised MINT MARK of the Leningrad Mint on the reverse. The badge is of two-piece construction: the airplanes and rockets are a separate superimposed part attached by wires. Excellent quality and very attractive design. First introduced as award for excellent service in 1975 and issued until the collapse of the USSR to best servicemen of Soviet Anti-aircraft Defense Forces including fighter interceptor pilots, radar operators, AAA rocket battery crewmen etc. Perfect condition and comes with original cardboard Issue Box!! Original Mint Marked screw plate is included. We have seen copies of this badge that are currently manufactured in Russia and other places and routinely offered for sale on eBay. Those lack the quality of the original pieces, typically don't show the proper mint mark, and sometimes have incorrect pin and butterfly clutch attachments that were never used during the Soviet period.
