Distintivo per i 15 anni della SASSR (Yakutskaya SSR)

[Japanx]

Saw recently this very rare badge for sale.
Only 447 were ever issued.
Introduced on April 13 1937.
Awarded until 1945.

There were two emissions.
300 badges in silver were made by Osoviachim in October of 1938.
Additional 150 badges in silvered tombac were made by Leningrad Mint in May of 1941.

Here comes a badge from second emission.

The seller currently asks 10 k`s for the badge of second type with doc.
Way too much, is you ask me.
5-6 k`s would be much more realistical asking price.

Btw, what type do you like more?
First or second

The first variation seems to be a little more detailed and has a very nice patina but i like more the second variation.

Thanks fot share Nick Beautiful piece.
I like the second.. the white enamel of the first leave me puzzled

[Japanx]

I see...
Personally I prefer first type in silver

At least it has all features of original design.
See?
