Original Item – Only One Available. This authentic Russian SVR Foreign Intelligence Service 85th Anniversary badge is an officially issued commemorative award, produced to mark a major institutional milestone in the history of Russia’s foreign intelligence service. Issued in limited numbers and reserved for officers and closely affiliated recipients, anniversary badges of the SVR are tightly controlled and rarely appear on the open collector market, especially in low-numbered examples.
This badge carries a low serial number (№162) on the reverse, a feature that significantly increases collector interest, as early or low serial numbers were typically allocated to senior officers, long-serving personnel, or individuals with distinguished service records. The quality of manufacture reflects official production, with solid construction and correct period finishing consistent with authenticated SVR anniversary issues.
SVR-related awards remain among the most sought-after categories within modern Russian intelligence collectibles due to their restricted issuance and historical sensitivity. Low serial numbered examples from anniversary series are particularly scarce and highly desirable. This piece represents a strong collector-grade example, ideal for advanced collections focused on Russian intelligence services, SVR history, or modern-era official security service decorations.
