The size is continental standard 6" x 4", postally unused and unmarked, published by the Soviet Artist Publishing House, circulation 25,000, very low by Soviet standards. The artwork is an offset print of G. Sorogin's painting, glorifying the victory of the Red Army in the Russian Civil War.

In very good to excellent condition: the obverse shows a small spot of red paint or ink visible against the stormy sky, not too intrusive to the eye. The reverse is quite clean; the left side of it is not age-toned due to not being exposed to light. The ink stamp in the lower right-hand corner has the new price of 2 kopeks which came into effect in 1961, courtesy of Khrushchev's 10:1 currency reform.
