"Socialist Labour Shockworker" Title.

[deValcourt]

I've never seen a badge-medal with this type of suspension and connection together on Soviet era items from Mongolia. But just because I haven't seen one doesn't mean the don't exist.;) The seller says it is for a "Socialist Competition" and I can make out "Socialism" - the rest is unusual to me. I also don't see any mint marks to suggest it was made in the USSR which may explain the difference in construction.

Any thoughts or similar items?

Hi Phillip,

Look similar to DDR badges in terms of construction...

Cheers.

What Battushig calls "Shockworker of Socialist Labor, I" (X 13). There was a single-class version (without number) and a three-class version.

I'd guess it was made in the DDR.
