Stalin Badge. - TakeshiKovacs - 08-05-2014
Anyone know anything about this badge? I've only run into a couple, and both were priced upwards of 100 bucks, which seem ludicrous. However I ran into one elsewhere for quite a bit less, but not knowing anything about it I figured I'd ask here. =)
Stalin Badge. - CtahhR - 08-05-2014
Firstly this Badge is not Soviet but Bulgarian - another Badge made by 1st DZLF - http://soviet-awards.com/forum/soviet-bloc-awards/soviet-sphere/peoples-republic-bulgaria/bulgarian-badges/85102-badge-ready-sanitary-defence.html#post219875
I forget just what "DZLF" is but they made many bits in the early to mid 1950's in Sofia.
Secondly this is probably not an award but a "memento" in memory of Comrade Stalin most likely from late 1953.
I'd put a price on this of about $8-$12. 50-75% more if an actual award with paperwork.
As an update I believe "1st DZLF" is the 1st State Badge Enterprise Factory which became the State Industrial Enterprise "Commune" in the mid 1950's. Notice the similarity in DZLF and DIPK screwplates.
