Description: Soviet Badge of a Veteran of the 237th Order of Red Banner Pyryatyn Division.This is GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL badge made during the Soviet period, not a post-Soviet manufacture or a replica!The badge is in aluminum and paint, quite well made. The medallion measures about 38 mm in height (including the eyelet), 37 mm in width. The medallion shows the inscriptions “237,” “Order of Red Banner Pyryatyn Division,” and the dates “1941-1983.” The suspension shows the inscription “Novokuznetsk.” There is a maker mark shown on the reverse of the suspension.The badge is in GREAT condition, with nicely preserved paint and finish. The pin attachment is intact and fully functional.Pins of this kind were awarded to the veterans of the unit often in commemoration of an anniversary of the unit of anniversary of victory over Germany. They were often handed out to surviving servicemen at veterans’ conventions, patriotic rallies or other special events. Because not many veterans were still alive at the time, veteran badges of a specific unit are quite often scarce – especially for a unit of relatively small size.Unlike the usual souvenir pins that could be purchased in a Soyuzpechat kiosk, Veteran badges were NEVER available for sale. Original Soviet veteran badges are fun to collect if you are interested in military history. With plenty of information available online and in published books, you can often trace where the unit fought in WW2 and what battles it won. Moreover, a correct badge can be a nice addition to a WW2 medal group or even an individual researched decoration and will bring extra dimension and interest to a collector’s display.
