GuDeKe Soviet Ussr CCP KGB Badge Lapel Pin

Very solid and looks great on my ushanka. Screw wheel holds pin exactly vertical on the front of the hat. Replaced a crappy hammer/sickle pin that was far more cheaply made and just broke off at the pin and never stayed straight anyway.

I F’d up and cut the pin off, filed it and and glue a magnet with bar on the back to wear it wherever, but it probably would have been better to keep the screwpin on as it was very strong. But I issued metal clippers to take it off and a pocket file to make to work, still I love wearing it around. Not KGB, sowwy..

This is a very nice badge. Excellent quality, and is a great addition to my military badge and insignia collection.

It is well made and durable. A bit smaller than I thought. There is no pin on the back so just be prepared to make your own hole prior to applying it to whatever it is you choose.

I had to do a presentation for my history class about any country in any time frame, and this pin worked like magic. I did it on the Soviet union in the 1960's and dressed up as a KGB officer. I got an F on the project (unsurprising) but I loved working on it and showing people our favorite communist country. Всего лучшего!

Used as a gift for someone with an interest in World History. It is very unusual.

Great stuff. Just don't expect this to be a badge per se. More a cockade, something a bit smaller than a badge and more suitable for a cap, hat or so. No needle, there is a rather thick screw instead. I have it in a guncase for my Makarov just for laughs.

High quality pin ,but doesn't have a sharp point to go through fabric. You will need to take a tool, make a hole, put the pin in. Screw the fastener on until tight.
