Description
Soviet 10 year Jubilee Badge of MOPR (Society to Help Revolutionaries)
This badge is made of bronzed steel and enamels. The badge measures 28.45 mm in height and 24.94 mm in width and weighs 3.1 gram without its screwplate. Its screwplate is numbered ‘125058’.
The badge is in excellent, well above average condition with crisp details and light wear only. The enamel are stunning and free from flaking, scratches or dings. All details are perfectly visible and crisp. The badge includes a well fitted and time period screwplate which may or may not be authentic to the badge. Its screw has not been shortened and there are no repairs.
Created by Komintern in 1922, MOPR had a purpose of liberating terrorists from jails around the world, and fomenting anti-government activities in foreign countries. Although many Soviet citizens were enrolled in it and had to make “voluntary” monthly contributions, the activist members deserving a special badge were relatively few.
