Original Item – Only One Available. Original issued piece connected to the Russian GRU SIGINT installation at Lourdes, Cuba, made for the 45th anniversary of the station. The badge shows the Russian and Cuban flags over a globe with a satellite dish, which aligns perfectly with the SIGINT role of the facility. The reverse has a maker’s mark on the back and overall condition is very good with no notable enamel loss.

Items tied specifically to the Lourdes station are not common, since most were produced in small runs for internal presentation rather than retail distribution. The facility itself was a major GRU asset overseas, active from the Cold War through the early 2000s, and anything linked to it is of interest to collectors of intelligence and communications material. These anniversary pieces do surface occasionally, but they’re not often found outside Russia, and complete, intact examples remain desirable.
