Russian FSB Operational Support Group “Wolverine” Badge – Karelia Special Unit Issue

Description

Original Item – Only One Available. This badge represents the operational support group known as “Wolverine,” a regional special unit within the Russian security structure operating in Karelia. Such unit-specific insignia were produced in small quantities and distributed only to members directly involved in field operations and support activities. Because these formations handle specialized tasks with restricted personnel, their internal awards rarely appear outside official channels, making authentic pieces like this significantly sought after in the collector market.

The badge reflects the distinctive post-Socialist era style used for regional and tactical-level FSB units, featuring strong enamel work and robust construction. Items associated with named operational groups are considerably harder to obtain due to their narrow distribution and short manufacturing runs. For collectors focused on modern intelligence units, regional special detachments, or rare operational badges, this piece stands out as a particularly uncommon and desirable acquisition.
