This model features a classic pentagonal shape, with clean edges, predominantly featuring a camouflage pattern in various shades of green, khaki, and brown, characteristic of period Russian military gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the center of the patch, a raised coat of arms is visible, depicting a crowned double-headed eagle, a distinctive heraldic symbol of the Russian Federation and heir to imperial emblems. Around this central motif are Cyrillic inscriptions, part of which is legible: \"Федеральная служба безопасности\" (translation: Federal Security Service), indicating a probable affiliation with a specific unit or administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe border of the patch is finely sewn, with a finish that appears robust and suitable for intensive use on a uniform. The visual aspect suggests a matte fabric, typical of sew-on or attachable insignias for field attire, with no apparent shine. No fastening system is visible on this side, in accordance with the angle of the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe well-defined camouflage pattern conforms to the standards adopted by the Russian armed forces from the 1990s onwards, which places the item in a post-Soviet period, while retaining a vintage style. The details of the coat of arms and letters are in golden overlay, clearly visible against the khaki green background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece shows some signs of use, including a slight fold and discreet wear on one of the upper corners, visible in the photo, which enhances its authenticity and antique character. The overall appearance remains consistent, and the insignia retains good legibility of its decorative elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
