The inscription on the suspension reads "Champion"; the writing on the pendant along the edge is "Regional Council". In the center is the shield-shaped emblem of the DSO Bureverstnik ("Petrel"), at the time the sports club of college students, faculty and staff of Soviet higher education institutes and universities, and employees of retail trade. The sports club that this name was originally organized in 1936 initially as a DSO of employees of retail industry. Later, it greatly expanded by absorbing several trade union DSOs including that of college students and staff of government establishments. Unlike most other Soviet trade union sports clubs, the Bureverstnik survived the reorganization of 1957, albeit in a greatly reduced form. By the early 70s, it had become a DSO exclusively for college students and faculty.

In excellent condition. The enamel is perfect with the exception of a tiny "dimple" on the suspension device which is clearly a manufacturing flaw, not a result of wear. The pin attachment is fully functional.
