About this piece
Massive Soviet bronze plaque with the USSR State Emblem: 3.43 kg, 20.5 x 21 cm, four mounting holes, natural patina. Ships worldwide from Ukraine, tracked.
From the seller's notes
This USSR state emblem plaque is a massive, solid bronze (copper alloy) casting of the State Emblem of the Soviet Union, weighing 3.43 kg (7.56 lb). The relief shows the Hammer, Sickle and Globe in clear detail, there are four mounting holes in the corners, and the surface has a natural patina built up over decades. It is a heavy industrial piece, not a souvenir.

About This Piece
Heavy metal state emblems like this were made for outdoor and official use. According to the original description, such emblems were installed at Soviet border posts and checkpoints, on regional administration buildings and on the fronts of locomotives and carriages on international railway routes. The exact origin of this plaque is not documented, but its weight and weathering fit that kind of use. It is a strong choice for collectors of Cold War and Iron Curtain history or for industrial-style wall decor.
Worldwide shipping from Ukraine. Every order is carefully packed — fragile items are packed separately — and shipped via Ukrposhta with a tracking number.
