Badge "Participant In Building The Great Fergana Canal Named Comrade Stalin".

More particularly, the "Big Ferghana Canal" modestly named after Stalin. Like so many other engineering projects of the era, this was built with Gulag laborer assistance.

The serial number for these is on the screwback. I've got a couple of them with original screwbacks (s/n's in the 40k and 70k-80k range), and one that someone converted to a pin-back. It's a nice badge. They are a little tough to find now.
