Stalin Badges
This badge is 29 mm x 32 mm. Two piece construction. Silvered copper and red enamel. It is a screwback and the plate is 16,5 mm and also in copper.
The badge is listed in Avers # 2, no. 1157. Dated to 1936. I would like to know some more about this badge. Was it made for a party congress? I don't collect badges, but picked this up in St. Petersburg 10 years ago for a few dollars. All information is welcome.

Kjetil Kvist,
I am not sure, but I believe it was just a commemorative badge, one of those that the Soviets used to wear to show their support of their beloved lieders. Alexei |

I agree with Alexei, but it is a nice badge with what appears to be nice enamel work.

Gentlemen,
Here's another Stalin badge: ... comes on a very old ribbon, that says: "Stalin's Shock Worker" Alexei Last edited by CtahhR; 11-27-2012 at 03:45 PM. |

Nice
I would really like to see a picture of the worker that earned this!
Moderation was not a key word...:)

Re: What is it?
Alex,
Honestly, I am not sure. I don't believe the badge itself is an award. Most likely, it's commemorative. In this case the ribbon would be a minor award. Alexei |

Re: What is it?
I have to agree, the Avers books are great for reading, but I don't really use them much as a guide in collecting. The rare variations of badges that should be expensive go for less than the common variations, only because the common variations are listed in Avers. Plus, Avers has lots of badges that are souvenirs - they are not even awards. For me, the most interesting badges are the ones that are very rare, not listed in Avers, and you actually have to do some homework to figure out how they were earned. Usually when you figure out what they are for, it was something impressive, like working 25 years in a mine, or winning a regional komsomol competition.
