Badge "Shockworker Of The Stalinist Campaign". - Page 3

And lastly, the Ударнику railway badge.

Question: Were these given out to pratically everybody who worked on any aspect of the Stalin-era trains, or were they more for a certain type of railroad worker? I just know that they are fairly common.

Thanks,
Phillip

I don't see any problems with both.
BTW, the first one is rare.

Good catch Jens. Yes, that "shock worker" badge is a numbered multi-piece badge that you don't see every day.:thumbsup

Oh - I did not know that, because it`s number seemed to be quite high when I purchased it. And usually only low - numbered pieces are rare and expensive !?

Well I wouldn't say it is as expensive as say a 70th anniversary KGB badge:rolleyes:, but it is far more valuable than the $30-$40 unnumbered, mirror(ish) reverse. I think these were the ones produced while Stalin was still alive. I'd have to check.

the original owner must have loved it.

Saying "rare" I did not mean very expencive (thousends of $$$) :D
It is more difficult to find comparing to unnumbered.
I think that the price of this badge (taking in consideration it's condition) approx. $70.00 up to $100.00.

The other two images.
I'm also off to search through Avers8 for my own edification.
