Soviet Excellent Soldier Badge (Otlichnik Sovetskoy Armii)

This is a classic Soviet 'Excellent Soldier of the Soviet Army' badge. It's got that iconic shield shape with the red star, hammer and sickle, and the white enamel ring around the center. The gold-tone laurel leaves on the sides still look sharp. It's a solid piece of Cold War history for any militaria collector. Used, but the enamel is in great shape.
