Soviet publishing, education and manufacturing all took part in marking such dates, and pins were one of the cheapest ways to do so. Because this event is less often seen on badges than the revolution itself, the pin suits collectors who want to go beyond the familiar October Revolution designs and document party-history anniversaries. Pins about party congresses are among the more specialized corners of Soviet badge collecting, and they often interest historians as well as hobbyists. The photographs show the lettering and finish, and the dated design makes it easy to file alongside other 1970s anniversary items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
