Anodized aluminum, paint, approx. 25 mm tall. Excellent condition. Shows minor age, no damage (what looks like scuffs to the white paint are just manufacturing imperfections). Note that our photos show an example; we have a few in stock, all in the same condition.

The DOSAAF was an ostensibly volunteer organization but in reality, membership was often compulsory for young people. Its purpose was to prepare Soviet youth (including females) for service in the military and possibly war. Practically all of its officials and many of the instructors were military veterans, some of them even high-ranking WW2 generals. The organization was massive in its scale running numerous training programs such as parachute jumps, airplane model building, sharp shooting, driving and much more. It also organized various tournaments in "applied military sports".

Please note, the penny in our photo is for size reference.
