VLKSM Central Committee Medal (Honorary Badge) of Honored
Mentor of Youth, Type 1, 1973-1975. A very scarce first
version of the badge issued for only a couple of years
exclusively by the VLKSM. In 1975, it became a joint award by
the Komsomol and the Trade Unions of the USSR, which resulted
in a re-design of the medal. In excellent condition.
Award Table Medal in bronze to a Winner of the 1985 Contest of Student Science
Papers on Social Studies, History of the VLKSM, and History of the International
Youth Movement. Rather than being a purely commemorative medal, this unusual piece
was bestowed exclusively upon the laureates of the contest and only on one
occasion. Just 300 were ever produced. In excellent condition.
Badge in Commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of the Komsomol
of Georgia, early 1980s. Made by the Leningrad Mint, this
piece was awarded to the Komsomol and Communist Party VIPs in
Georgian SSR - as opposed to various commemorative pins
available for purchase to general public. In excellent
condition.
