Russian FSB For Service in Counterintelligence 3rd Class Badge w/ Box – Moscow Mint – Rare Official Award

Description

Original Item – Only One Available.
This is the Russian FSB “For Service in Counterintelligence” 3rd Class Badge, an officially issued decoration produced by the Moscow Mint. Established on 12 July 1994, this award recognized FSB personnel for dedicated counterintelligence service, operational discipline, and meaningful contribution to state security. The obverse displays the gilded FSB double-headed eagle mounted on the classic sword and shield form, framed by the inscription “For Service in Counterintelligence”. The Roman numeral III at the base denotes its 3rd Class grade within the hierarchy of the award.

This example comes housed in its original blue presentation box, further emphasizing its authenticity and elevating it above loose examples on the market. Early Moscow Mint pieces are increasingly difficult to source, prized for their crisp detail, superior construction, and official issuance history. With its untouched finish, strong relief, and complete presentation, this badge stands as a premium acquisition for advanced collectors of FSB, intelligence, and post-Soviet security service awards.
