Original late production 1980's badge. Still around in huge numbers.

Guards badges are always cool. I have one, it dates from the 1960's I think. Not as shiny as your example

Apparently late-Soviet unissued stock or post-Soviet (tourist) production. I have to say 10 euros is a high price, they are available on eBay for just a few bucks.
