assorted early cap badges

Sorry for the quality.

Can someone date this small grouping of cap badge I collected while living in Germany in the 1970's & 80's. The top one is a locomotive on tracks. The second row M22? and M19? And, finally, the militia police badge, 1930's?

The early star with the plow was acquired at the Stuttgart Militaria show circa 1980.

The "ribbon" at the very bottom counts as a republic - it being Russia : PCCP - making that eleven...

So what is the vintage of the 11 state USSR? According to my research, circa 1940? That would be logical considering this piece was a German souvenir probably taken in 1941 or so - when Mitbringsl was the victor's perogative...as opposed to survival a couple of couple of years later.

The Militia shields are M 39 Order of NKVD USSR (Приказ НКВД СССР) № 524 from (от) 16.08.1939 year (г)
And they was used until 1943, but as most of the militiamans has change their uniform to the khaki- newer used on it

Dim, are you saying that this is a SLEEVE SHIELD?
