24th Congress of the Communist Party of Ukraine, Delegate's
Badge, 1971.
24th Congress of the Communist Party of Ukraine, Delegate's
Badge, 1971.
Brass, enamels. The pendant is 28.7 mm wide, riveted two-piece
construction. The reverse of the suspension device shows
raised maker mark "KYuF" (Kiev Jewelry Workshop). In excellent
condition.
Unlike the numerous pins, postcards, stamps etc. commemorating
this event, this badge was issued exclusively to the delegates
of the Congress and could not be purchased. Its medal like
appearance is unique to this particular congress; the later
were flag-shaped designs similar to the delegate's badges of
the all-Union communist party congresses.
