Russian Navy Badge Commemorating the Nuclear Submarine K-266 Orel .High quality, two-piece construction, BIG badge in brass and enamels, with a pendant. Measures approx.43 mm tall, 40.5 mm wide. The upper portion of the badge features double-headed eagle national emblem with Russian naval flag in the center. The name of the sub (which means "Eagle" in Russian) is inscribed on the blue scroll. Note that it is written in the Old Slavonic style, the way it would be spelled prior to the 1917 Revolution and Bolshevik-driven simplification of Russian language.The badge is in VERY GOOD condition. There are just a few minor scuffs to the paint, not very detractive. The gold and silver finishes are nice and bright.
