stratasfan Posted November 9, 2020 Share #1 Posted November 9, 2020 Hi, Guys! Wondering if anyone can help me on this one! What is the diamond-shaped pin? What does it mean and how would I go about looking it up? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
us82bravo Posted November 10, 2020 Share #2 Posted November 10, 2020 Elizabeth, The diamond shaped pin is usually represents a school badge or academy badge which was awarded to graduates of that institution. The design on the badge indicates the particular school or academy. I can not tell what the design is from this photo. An internet search for 'USSR school badges' or 'USSR academy badges' will bring up several 'for sale' type sites which show many examples and give additional information on the specific badges. Perhaps some of our more knowledgeable members can give you more information on these. Hope this helps! Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SARGE Posted November 10, 2020 Share #3 Posted November 10, 2020 Elizabeth, Here is the East German version of the academy graduation badge. In this case it is for the higher Volkspolizei Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted November 10, 2020 Thanks! No idea of them wearing graduation badges! That's different! I'll have to see if I can get a screengrab from the Blu-Ray disc of the movie. I'll post it! Thanks for the help! Super interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
