Original Item – Only One Available. Rare official-issue Russian SVR anniversary badge for the 25th Anniversary of Directorate “KN” of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation. The badge features a highly detailed multi-layer design with the Russian SVR double-headed eagle, crossed swords, gilt wings, silver laurel elements, and the central SVR blue globe-and-star emblem. The lower red enamel cartouche is marked “КН 25,” identifying the directorate and anniversary being commemorated.
This is a specialized internal service badge rather than a common public souvenir. The design follows the formal visual language of Russian intelligence and state-security awards, combining imperial Russian state symbolism with post-Soviet SVR identity, the globe for foreign intelligence and the sword elements for security-service tradition. Badges connected to specific SVR directorates are much harder to obtain than general anniversary or veterans’ pieces.
The reverse is fitted with a pin-and-clutch fastening system, consistent with modern Russian departmental badges intended for formal wear or presentation. The piece shows strong enamel, crisp relief, and attractive gilt and silver-tone contrast throughout, with light handling wear visible to the reverse. A rare and desirable badge for advanced collectors of Russian SVR, KGB successor agencies, post-Soviet intelligence service awards, and modern state-security memorabilia.
