Extremely rare Soviet silver badge “Excellent Worker of the Food Industry” (NKPP), issued in 1938, complete with its original numbered booklet, box and screwback.
This is serial number 207 — an early award from the first years of the badge’s existence.
Badges of this type were awarded by the People’s Commissariat of the Food Industry of the USSR for exceptional production achievements. Early pre-war pieces with documents are considered highly collectible and rarely appear on the open market, usually circulating among advanced collectors and trusted Eastern European dealers known for strict authenticity standards (e.g., MarketAntikvarTM).
