Irreproachable Service in the Ministry of Interior Armed
Forces of the USSR |
 |
 Undocumented
but in very nice condition and quite rare. Silver plated,
issued between 1958 and 1991 to members of the Ministry of
Interior Armed forces. Type 2 had the letters MVD USSR and
was issued to other Ministry of Interior of the USSR employees.
Apparently very few individuals ever received an award already
after 10 years of service as it was much more common to be
decorated after 15 or 20 years when the individual proved
him/herself more or was close to retirement.
