It's commonly called a Stalin's Shockworker Labor Badge, or some variation of that. There are several varieties. I have a number at home that need to be sorted out later this year. One large site offers two varieties for sale at widely divergent prices, presumably only because one variety pre-dates the other. I have never been clear on exactly what one did to earn this badge. Someone once corrected me when I offered that it must be railway-related. He could have been right, too, since I couldn't back up my opinion. It was awarded for about twenty years beginning in the mid-1930s and you can find it in most of the general reference books.

Danny,
The badge is perfectly genuine, though I am not sure about the enamel. It is not railway related. I believe that the locomotive illustrates Lenin's words about revolutions been locomotives of history (correct me if I am wrong). This badge was produced in huge numbers, and is fairly cheap. Considering the condition I'd say $10 is a fair price. Alexei |

Thanks Alexei. It sold for about that, but I had passed on it because of the enamel. Want to buy a fairly reasonable one.

Danny,
They are commonly available in better condition, so you should have no problem finding one. Alexei |

Here is another example being auctionned off. The enamel isn't the same colour as in post #1. Does this one look authentic?

And another one for the experts to elaborate... :)
Which one(s) is/are real or fake(s) from those posted here? They all look different! Could it be a question of period? Manufacturing quality? Different variations? Or they simply got old differently?! Thanks, Dolf |

Ruiz,
Both of them look original. The earlier, numbered one is quite nice, especially with its original counterplate. Marc |
