The screw post is of full length, approx. 8 mm, and comes with the original screw plate marked with name and address of the manufacturer "Vsekokhudozhnik, Moscow. #11 Kuznetskiy Most" The screw plate is somewhat loose due to worn threads of the screw post, but it is still functional and will not slide off the screw post if left undisturbed.

This highly uncommon badge is not shown in "Avers 8". Known among Russian-speaking collectors as the "Mourning for Lenin" badge, it was probably issued to commemorate an anniversary of Lenin's death, possibly the 3rd anniversary in 1928.
