Original Item – Only One Available. This badge issued for the 7th Department of the 16th Center of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia, specifically associated with Novosibirsk, as clearly indicated on the badge itself. This confirms the unit’s regional placement within one of Russia’s key Siberian operational centers.

The 16th Center is widely known as one of the primary directorates responsible for signals intelligence, communications interception, and information security operations, department-level badges such as this were officially issued for service use, not produced for public sale or commemorative distribution. The badge features a shield-and-sword motif consistent with FSB heraldry, detailed enamel work, and solid metal construction typical of official service insignia.

The service badges of individual departments within major FSB centers were produced in strictly limited quantities and issued to assigned officers or trusted personnel. They were typically worn internally or retained as service identifiers, which makes surviving examples from regional centers like Novosibirsk particularly uncommon on the open collector market.

An authentic and scarce intelligence service artifact, ideal for advanced collectors specializing in FSB units, regional service insignia, and modern Russian security structures. Please examine all photographs carefully for details and condition.
