New late answer to Yolkin's question about dating Deputy badges. Menokhoshin's book gives changing method of mint marks. Also screwback vs pinback is date related. Pinbacks are later except for certain rare TsIK badges. Check his book pg 164 for guide to mint marks. But there might be variations so use as a guide rather than definitive. Also People's deputy is 1989 - if USSR or 1990 if Union republic/autonomous republic. (Only one congress.)
