Description: 1882-1982 RUSSIAN DESK MEDAL CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF THE ORDER OF LENIN BOLSHEVIK FACTORYордена ленина завод БольшевикORDER OF LENIN BOLSHEVIK FACTORY. 100. 1882-1982.The above is a very rough translation (as I don't speak Russian). Vintage Russian desk medal. The medal measures 2.5" in diameter. Weight: 100 grams. I'm not sure what kind of metal it's cast in, but it's heavy, and non-magnetic (copper? bronze?). An interesting historical artifact from the Soviet era. Tarnished, with light surface wear.Dozens of similar Russian desk medals were issued by the government and various organizations, throughout modern Soviet history. Some celebrate military, industrial, scientific, historical and other Soviet triumphs; many celebrate the anniversary of the founding or meetings of different Russian governmental organizations, including the KGB, or as here, the 100th anniversary of the Order of Lenin Bolshevik Factory. I acquired a small lot of these Soviet desk medals and will be listing them at auction today. None of these are common, and some are quite rare and desirable.We have been a family business for more than 30 years.
