I was wondering if anyone knows what this is exactly. Is it a sweetheart type piece of jewelry? It measures about 1 1/2 inch long by 1 1/4 inch wide from wing tip to wing tip.

Cool looking badge! I would say that it is more likely a veteran's lapel pin rather than a sweetheart piece.

 

Ochen horosho!

Thanks for your input as I didn't think of that.

The color and luster of the metal look to me like it could be made of gold. I have never seen anything even close to it. It is a unique item. Very nice!

The letters on the piece correspond to the name of the Soviet Airborne (Воздушно-десантные войска России, ВДВ; Air-landing Forces)
