Commemorative patriotic badge for "Fighters for Homeland and freedom"

Bronze, stamping. The original sign is in very good collector's condition. The obverse repeats the design of the medal "For Bravery" of the period of the Provisional Government.

Next to the inscription are the branches of an oak, laurel and palm tree tied with a ribbon. Along the bottom edge is the brand of the manufacturer: "Fabr. D. Kuchkin Moscow". This commemorative badge was issued in 1917 in Russia after the February Revolution during the period of the Provisional Government.
