Russian SVR Foreign Intelligence Service 85th Anniversary Badge with Document – Official Award

Description

Original Item – Only One Available.
This official badge was issued for the 85th anniversary of Russian foreign intelligence, commemorating the lineage of the INO, PGU, and modern SVR, from its founding in 1920 through the KGB’s First Chief Directorate and into the present-day Foreign Intelligence Service. Constructed in the classic sword and shield format with the SVR globe emblem, laurel wreath, and the number 85 prominently displayed, it represents one of the most prestigious modern SVR commemorative awards. This example comes complete with its original numbered document, filled out and stamped, confirming its authenticity and internal issuance.

Anniversary awards from the SVR are produced in limited quantities and distributed only within the service, making documented pieces especially coveted by advanced collectors. Items tied to the INO–PGU–SVR historical line are among the most sought-after due to their direct connection to Russia’s foreign intelligence legacy. With its excellent condition, intact enamel, and original certificate bearing an official SVR seal, this is an exceptional and rarely encountered set suitable for any serious intelligence-history collection.
