Hi Dom

Very nice thread

Why do you say yours is № 1889 ? I do not see any stamping on that extend

Other members had some examples ??

Here are a couple from my collection obtained "over the wall" whilst serving in Berlin. I really like these early soviet period items but have stopped adding to that part of my collection now due to the huge number of very good fakes out there.

That's the number of the decree (postanovleniye) by which the badge was instituted in 1939, not the serial number of the badge itself.

Hi Mark,

IMO both Otlichniks are original, left "Leningrad Mint" , right "Len enameller" (example first post), however nuts are not for these badges.
