What kind of academy graduation badge is this?

[Nopegineer]

Hello all,

I would like to know what kind of academy badge this is. It's a rhombus with a blue field and a gold-coloured edge, with a gold-coloured Soviet coat of arms and a red star with the hammer and sickle below it, produced in the Moscow Mint. Any help would be greatly appreciated!




Regards,
Gordon

It's on page 485 of the Avers 8 catalog if anyone can provide a translation.
This type of badge was used between 1961 to 1982.

According to Greg Collins' classifications it's: "Intermediate Level Military Academy Graduation Badge

Type 1: Brass, gilt and hot enamel three-piece, three rivet construction with mint marked tightening wheel. 1961-1982."
