Vintage condition with minor signs of age consistent with storage. Used on uniform caps of workers in the Soviet mining industry. Size: 5 x 4.7 cm
Important note about attachment:
The original wire prongs on the reverse are thin and fragile due to age. They can break if bent back and forth repeatedly. When attaching the badge to a cap it is recommended to make small holes in the fabric first rather than forcing the prongs through the material.
Vintage Soviet mining cap badge featuring the classic crossed hammer and pick symbol.
Gold-tone metal with dark blue enamel centre and oak leaf design. Maker’s mark “ЩЗ” on the reverse, attributed to the Shcherbinsky Badge Factory (USSR).
A great collectible piece for collectors of Soviet memorabilia, mining insignia, and vintage uniform badges.
