History

The Irreproachable Service in the Armed Forces for the KGB I Class Medal was established on January 25, 1958. The I Class medal was conferred upon those who were members of the Armed Forces and the KGB, in recognition of 20 years of service.

The Type II medals were awarded from February 2, 1960 until 1968. From 1968 to 1991, the award reverted to the Type I design. The I Class medal is made of silver with the central star with the hammer and sickle in red enamel.

The reverse Russian inscription translates to: "For Irreproachable Service".
