Russian FSB Moscow Branch Border Institute 10th Anniversary Badge – Rare Official Issue

Description

Original Item – Only One Available. This rare official badge was issued to mark the 10th anniversary of the Moscow Branch of the Border Guard Institute of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB). It commemorates the establishment and service history of the branch as a distinct structural unit within the FSB educational system. Such anniversary badges were produced exclusively for internal presentation to staff, officers, and associated personnel, and were never intended for commercial distribution.

The badge features a shield and sword format traditionally associated with border service identity, combined with official state emblems and anniversary dating specific to the branch. The reverse shows correct period construction with a screwback fastener and an original marked nut. Due to their limited production, strict internal circulation, and strong institutional attribution, branch-specific FSB anniversary badges are seldom encountered on the open market. This example, preserved in complete and original condition, represents a highly desirable piece of modern Russian security service insignia for serious collectors.
