Security units responsible for submarine divisions operate in tightly restricted environments, overseeing access control, counterintelligence measures, and protection of sensitive naval infrastructure. Badges from these departments were produced in very small quantities and distributed exclusively within the unit, making original examples exceptionally difficult to obtain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe badge reflects the distinct design tradition used for naval-related FSB units and includes a raised submarine motif indicating its direct connection to an operational submarine division.

A rare Type 3, Variation 2 “Excellent Police Officer” badge of the Mongolian People’s Republic, issued during the later socialist period to distinguished personnel of the national police establishment. This distinction recognized exemplary professional service, discipline and achievement within the country’s law-enforcement system. Among the two recognized Type 3 versions, Variation 2 is regarded by specialist collectors as the scarcer pattern, appearing considerably less often than the more familiar Variation 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe badge is an imposing multipiece construction built on a broad shield covered in distinctive grey-blue enamel. At its center is the separately applied state emblem of the Mongolian People’s Republic, positioned over a vertical gilt sword and beneath the enameled national flag. A red-enamel cartouche bearing the initials “ОС” is framed by dark green laurel branches at the base. Variation 2 is immediately distinguished from Variation 1 by its muted grey-blue shield field and associated production details, giving it a noticeably different appearance despite retaining the same general Type 3 composition.
