Description
Original Item – Only One Available. Very rare official-issue Russian SVR badge commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the 5th Department of the Academy of Foreign Intelligence. The badge features a multi-layer gilt and silver-tone design with Russian tricolor enamel accents, laurel branches, starburst rays, and the central blue globe motif surrounded by the motto “Fatherland, Valor, Honor.”
The lower cartouche is marked “К/5,” identifying the 5th department, making this a specialized internal academy issue. Department-specific Academy of Foreign Intelligence pieces are far less commonly encountered, especially complete with their original presentation case.
Presented in its original fitted red velvet presentation case, the badge retains its modern pin-and-clutch fastening on the reverse. A scarce and highly collectible piece for advanced collectors of Russian SVR, KGB successor agencies, intelligence education, and post-Soviet state-security memorabilia.
