Measures 68 x 43", in double-layered heavy red silk with gold fringe on 3 sides and 3 flagpole loops on the fourth. Both sides feature stenciled artwork in graphics and lettering. The obverse features Lenin's profile portrait and the State Emblem of the USSR. Uncommonly, neither Lenin's portrait nor the State Emblem are in the center but, rather, share the space.

Measures 68 x 43", in double-layered heavy red silk with gold fringe on 3 sides and 3 flagpole loops on the fourth. Both sides feature stenciled artwork in graphics and lettering. The obverse features Lenin's profile portrait and the State Emblem of the USSR. Uncommonly, neither Lenin's portrait nor the State Emblem are in the center but, rather, share the space. Even the ever-present communist logo of world domination, "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" is not in its usually central position. The lettering under Lenin's portrait reads "Transferable banner for high results in socialist competition." The lettering on the reverse reads "Glory to the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics!"

In excellent condition. The body-colored paint in Lenin's portrait has scuffed off a little, giving Lenin a somewhat vampirical look, but not too intrusive to the eye or detractive. The fringe is all in place and shows no wear or damage. The flagpole loops are also wear-free.

Overall, a very clean, richly decorated flag that will make a wonderful centerpiece of a collection of Soviet memorabilia.

Please note that the yardstick in our last photo is for size reference.
