Let me introduce your attention the Soviet Guard Gvardia set of 6 amazing Badges, the items were made in 1960s. It means that in 1950 some changes were made. On the lower edge of the banner, a notch was made to indicate a fringe (you can find these signs on 3 badges from 1960s). Later signs began to be produced with a real fringe pattern along the lower edge of the banner. Since the 60s, there has been a change in metal - aluminum has replaced tombak.The set consists of 100% original Red Army Soviet military badges! Awards for Infantry, Tank, Rocket, Air Forces and Navy soldiers. Size: 46x34 mm. This badge was established on 21st of May, 1942. It looks as a five-pointed red star framed by a wreath of the laurel leaves, a star rises above the red flag with the word "guard" = "ГВАРДИЯ" on top.
