Russian SVR Foreign Intelligence Service Signals Intelligence 45th Anniversary Badge – SIGINT, Low Serial Number, Rare Official Issue

Description

Original Item – Only One Available. This Russian SVR Foreign Intelligence Signals Intelligence 45th Anniversary badge commemorates forty-five years of service within one of the most technically specialized branches of Russia’s foreign intelligence structure. Produced as an official internal commemorative issue, this badge was intended to mark institutional continuity, professional legacy, and long-term operational contribution within signals intelligence units.

The design is executed in classic shield & sword form, combining layered metal construction with deep enamel work. The reverse features a screw-post fastener and a clearly struck low serial number, indicating controlled production and reinforcing its collectible significance. Overall workmanship, materials, and assembly are consistent with official SVR anniversary issues from the period.

Badges of this type were typically awarded to serving or affiliated personnel, making surviving examples increasingly difficult to source on the collector market. Low-serial pieces are especially desirable. Today, this badge stands as a scarce and authentic representation of modern Russian intelligence history, well suited for advanced collectors focused on SVR, SIGINT, or post-Soviet security services.
