Soviet Militia (police) and KGB ID cards

[Kennyd]

Does anyone have Soviet Militia (police) and KGB ID card blanks from the 1970s-80s ?

And any advice on reproducing them, tips, etc ?

Used to be someone on ebay that was selling that sort of thing a few years ago although much of it was WWII stuff but also post war.
Went by ZoZ1o.

If I can find them, I'll email you images. Maybe someone can do the Schwarzenagger ID from "Red Heat."

Thanks :thumbsup

I'm watching Gorky Park at the moment. Not much of a film but it's put me in the mood :lol

The writing is going to be a real pain :eek


Here's a genuine KGB one I found. There's not many images of real cards to be found on the net, only that cheap fake card which turns up now and again.

Here's a cleaner version of the one you found Kenny, I always fancied a set of Rosa Klebs creds from 'From Russia with Love' ! I'm not 100% convinced these are authentic as I've seen different styles (see second pic) and variations but its a nice set of creds.

Here's a Stasi or East German State Police ID, it's a little easier to deal with as its in German not Cyrillic lol!

Cheers Paul, much appreciated :thumbsup

Note that some of those are from the NKVD, a predecessor to the KGB, and one is from the FSB, the current 'successor' to the KGB.

NKVD = 1934 - 54

KGB = 1954 - 91

FSB = 1995 - present

Chronology of Soviet Secret Police Agencies, Wikipedia. So byzantine.

I'm not some expert, just quoting Wikipedia

Attached is something I came across on The Internet.

NKVD ID, 1942-45. No idea as to it's provenance or reality.

Also, the HPLHS sells a paper props CD, which includes an OGPU ID.

Mike the HPLHS CD is top notch, and so is the included ID.

By the way, like your website/blog!
