Supreme Soviet of Uzbek SSR membership badge, pin back, #328, 1967 issue.
Silver gilt, enamels; measures 30.8 mm in width, the flagpole is 23.6 mm tall. Outstanding quality, typical of the Supreme Soviet badges. The reverse shows engraved serial number 328 and a raised mint mark "MMD" with a "pointy top" D. Judging by the details of the artwork as well as the style of the mint mark and pin back construction of the badge, it was issued to a member of only one convocation of the Supreme Soviet of Uzbekistan: the 7th Convocation that took place in 1967 and comprised only 458 members.
In outstanding, excellent condition. The enamel exhibits magnificent luster, shows no wear visible to the naked eye, and has only a few microscopic contact marks that are not easy to find even with a 10x loupe.
There are several tiny surface flakes in the upper right corner of the flag, barely noticeable; no penetrating chips or repairs. Also shows a couple of miniscule knocks to the silver edge. The gilt finish is nicely preserved.
