In booklet format measuring 4" x 3", in oilcloth-wrapped hard cover. The front cover shows an image of the society's badge and embossed lettering, in gold paint, reading, top to bottom, "Ministry of Defense USSR, All-Army Military Hunters' Society, Hunting License." The booklet has pages for registering membership renewals, the member's firearm(s), purchase of firearms and ammunition, resident status, and hunting dogs. The last pages are for lists of animals and fowl prohibited for hunting, and for recording violations and fines. The ID photo and entries for paid annual dues are validated by the seal of the Karpathian Military District, which issued the license to Yeremenko.

In excellent condition. The cover shows only minimal wear to the spine and corners, barely noticeable. The gold-colored paint of the badge and lettering on the front cover has lost some of its original luster but shows no loss of paint. The internal pages are clean, all printed and handwritten text, seals and signatures are crisp, clear, and perfectly legible. The ID photo is pristine.

Marshal Andrey Yeremenko (Андрей Иванович Еременко, 1892 - 1970) received the most important decorations of the USSR: three Orders of Suvorov 1st Class, the Order of Kutuzov 1st Class, the Gold Star Medal of Hero of the Soviet Union, five Orders of Lenin, the Order of the October Revolution, and four Red Banners. He also received thirteen Soviet medals and twenty foreign awards. During World War 2, he held commander positions of nine different fronts, including Moscow and Stalingrad. He received three wounds during the war, two of them serious enough that he spent long periods in hospital and frequently appeared in photographs using a cane. He helped liberate Latvia, the Crimea, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia from the Germans. During the Cold War, as a General of the Army, he held in succession the positions of Commander in Chief of the Carpathian Military District, Commander in Chief of the Western Siberian Military District, and Commander in Chief of the North Caucasus Military District before his promotion to Marshal of the Soviet Union in 1955. In 1956 Yeremenko was elected candidate to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the position he held until his death.
