Badges with a clasp

Badges with a clasp: 5 records in the reference. By subject: deputies, congresses and the communist party — 2, dates and commemorative events — 1, sport and the olympics — 1, komsomol and lenin — 1, art — 1. By metal: silver — 5, bronze — 1. By finish: enamel — 4, silvering — 1. Reference prices run from 1 400 to 35 900 roubles. Every entry carries photographs, metal, finish, fastening, dimensions and prices for each grade of preservation. The fastening — screw with nut, pin, suspension — dates a badge as well as its legend: screw-back badges are typical of pre-war and post-war issues, the pin came later. An original nut and undamaged thread raise the price noticeably.
