Russian Rosgvardiya Petty Officer (Starshina) Field Shoulder Board

This Russian Rosgvardiya shoulder board represents the field rank of Petty Officer (Starshina), used by senior enlisted personnel in the National Guard of the Russian Federation. The board measures 8×5cm and is intended for combat uniforms under modern VKPO regulations.

It features subdued coloring and a robust design, suitable for operational environments. As part of current field gear, it distinguishes the wearer’s leadership role within the enlisted ranks, bridging the gap between junior sergeants and warrant officers.

This insignia is an authentic and rare collectible from official Rosgvardiya issue. It is commonly worn in field conditions and reflects continuity from the Soviet and MVD traditions, adapted for the post-2016 structure of the Russian National Guard.
