    What is this Soviet Naval Badge?

    My Comrades and I were watching a nice 1980's Soviet war movie last night about the Naval Infantry and a lot of them were seen wearing a badge which we couldnt place.

    I know its only a cheezy war movie (but in Soviet style!) but the kit looked good, just not sure what this badge is...

    Here's a still from the movie - the badge in question is the big one on his right breast - sorry the detail isn't clear, hopefully the shape/size will tell you enough:



    One of my Comrades thought it might be a badge for time served at sea as the East German VolksMarine had a similarly shaped badge for just that...

    In the movie it was seen being worn by both officers and enlisted men...

    Any ideas?

    (And where can I find one?? )

    It is a badge given for "Long journey at sea" (or, if by submarine, below the sea). They were issued in two or three different shapes, some like yours and some smaller, both with the text Za Dalnij Pochod, sometimes the name/number of the vessel and a picture of either a ship or a submarine.

    I think I have one spare that I can sell.
