In silver-plated brass and enamel; measures 32.2 x 29.3 mm. The center medallion disc with Stalin's bas-relief bust is a separate superimposed part attached by wires. The badge in general and especially its enamelwork are of spectacular quality.

Excellent condition. The enamel shows a beautiful luster and is free of any wear visible to the naked eye. The details of the portrait are exceptionally well-preserved. The silver finish on the reverse is perfect. The wires are intact and tightly hold the center medallion. The screw post is of full length, approx. 11 mm, and comes with a mint marked screw plate which is probably original to the badge.

The exact date of its issue is unknown, but the badge is considered by many collectors from the former USSR to be a 1953 issue mourning Stalin's death (the flags draping the portrait appear to be lowered, thus giving credence to this idea.)
