Firstly this Badge is not Soviet but Bulgarian - another Badge made by 1st DZLF - http://soviet-awards.com/forum/soviet-bl...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.
