Original Item – Only One Available. This commemorative badge was made to honor of the 85th anniversary of Russian SVR Directorate “S” (Illegal Intelligence), marking the period from 1922 to 2007. Badges linked to Directorate “S” are among the most restricted and sought-after pieces in modern Russian intelligence collecting, as this directorate is responsible for deep-cover and non-official-cover intelligence operations.

The design features a complex, multi-layer construction with rich enamel work and symbolic elements tied to clandestine intelligence service. Anniversary insignia connected specifically to SVR Directorate “S” were produced in limited quantities and distributed internally to personnel and select veterans, making public-market examples exceptionally uncommon. This badge is ideal for advanced collections focused on Russian intelligence history, illegal residency operations, or elite post-Soviet security services, and stands as a rare and historically meaningful piece of modern intelligence heraldry.
