Surprise Gift - Russian translator needed

Oberon · 03-13-12, 08:25 AM

I got a little parcel in the post today, and when I opened it I found this inside it.

I don't know who it's from yet, although I have two people in mind, but I'm trying to figure out the cryllic, so I'm going to turn to the Russian folk here.

I figured it's a Golf SSB from the design, so I'm ponder if it's a patrol badge, I have a Kilo SSK patrol badge in little collection too, so I'm wondering if it's that.

Thanks.

The FSB perhaps...

I suspect it's either my better half or Keab. But both are at work at the moment so I can't interrogate them.

Hmmm, did you vote for Putin again?

The abbreviation on the left says "DKBF", which I think stands for the Baltic Fleet (See the Russian name and compare to the abbreviation).

The two X-letters on the right are most likely not letters, but stand for the number 20. The word "Let" besides them could mean "years", or be another abbreviation of something.

Six Golf SSBs were transferred to the Baltic Fleet in the sixties I think, perhaps this was a badge as a celebration of twenty years of the Golf SSB in the Baltic fleet?
