In addition to the anniversary celebrations organized by the Central Administration of the NKVD of the RSFSR, various anniversaries and memorable dates were widely celebrated and celebrated locally in the republican departments of the NKVD. Some of them established and issued anniversary award signs. Thus, in Ukraine in 1926, the 5th anniversary of the formation of the investigative and criminal police was also marked with special silver and gold icons. (The regulation “On the criminal investigation bodies and judicial-criminal police” was approved by the People’s Commissariat of Justice on May 11, 1919, but the structure was finally formed by the end of 1921, when 12 provincial departments, 87 county departments, 131 cities began to function on the territory of Ukraine criminal investigation table). This striking piece is in very good condition with very little visible damage to the enamel. Age spots are visible in the whites and there is a small chip located within the red star as well as a couple enamel bubbles along the right side. These are very small and the bubbles may be original. An aged patina is visible on the reverse as well as on the obverse in the small areas between letters and on the screw plate. I personally haven’t seen an example of these two pictured together. I have not applied the burn test to check for authenticity (age). However, I have tried to include photos that accurately represent how it looks to the eye. Ultra violet pics included to show lack of modern repairs to the enamel. If you would like to see any specific part in fine detail just reach out to me and I’d be happy to provide additional photos! The reference book pictured.
