Gilded and silver-plated brass, enamels; 38.3 x 23.4 mm. An unusual wedge-shaped design, with an ancient looking harvester in the center. Includes mint marked period screw plate. Note also a peculiar serial number with prefix "A" which distinguished these badges from the earlier series with "regular" numbers.

In outstanding, excellent condition; the enamels, finishes and details are perfect. Includes original mint marked screw plate.

The badge was issued until 1953, when the Ministry of Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing ministry merged with other agriculture related ministries.
