Russian FSB Special Service Badge with Sphinx Design – Official Issue

Description

Original Item – Only One Available. This Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) Special Service badge is an authentic issue produced by Orel & Co in Moscow, a recognized manufacturer of Russian state insignia. The design is highly unusual compared to standard FSB badges, featuring a heraldic sphinx, a mythical guardian figure symbolizing secrecy and knowledge, beneath a key emblem traditionally associated with cryptography and state secrets. Combined with the shield, sword, and laurel wreath, the badge represents vigilance and protection of classified information. Scarce and distinctive, this rare sphinx-design variant is a standout piece for advanced intelligence and spy memorabilia collections.
