Original Item – Only One Available. This authentic Russian SVR Foreign Intelligence Service Zaslon special forces unit badge was officially issued to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the unit’s formation. Zaslon is regarded as one of the most closed and elite operational units within Russia’s foreign intelligence structure, and commemorative items connected to the unit were produced strictly for internal distribution, never for the open market.

The badge features a complex multi-level design with a classic shield and sword base and a finely executed SVR globe, reflecting the global operational scope and long-term service history of the unit. The layered construction, sharp detailing, and high-quality enamel work are consistent with official SVR production standards of the period.

On the reverse, the badge is serial numbered, confirming official issuance and significantly enhancing its collector value. Numbered examples are especially desirable, as they firmly place the badge within its original limited production run. Complete with its correct screwback fastening and original reverse nut, this example is preserved in excellent condition.

This piece represents a high-grade collectible for serious collectors of Russian intelligence, modern-era special forces, and restricted-issue service insignia, and stands as a rare opportunity to obtain a officially issued, and numbered Zaslon badge.
