Description
Original Item – Only One Available. This exceptionally rare graduation rhombus badge was awarded to graduates of the Saratov Higher Military Engineering School of Chemical Defense, one of the Soviet Union’s most specialized and strategically important military institutions. The school trained elite officers for chemical defense, radiological protection, and related engineering disciplines, fields that were considered highly sensitive during the Cold War period. Due to the limited number of graduates and the narrow specialization of the institution, original graduation rhombus badges from this school are seldom encountered and are regarded as advanced-level collector pieces.
Manufactured by the Moscow Mint, this badge displays correct period construction, high-quality enamel work, and authentic mint details on the reverse, fully consistent with officially issued Soviet military graduation insignia. Its survival in well-preserved condition further enhances its desirability, as many such rhombuses were heavily worn or lost over time. Today, original Saratov chemical defense graduation badges are rarely seen on the open market, making this an outstanding acquisition for collectors of Soviet military education, Cold War–era engineering units, and elite graduation insignia. A museum-grade piece with strong historical significance and long-term collectible value.
