Red Star Cockade

Material: Gilt brass with translucent red enamel
Size: 25mm tip to tip
Description: This five-pointed brass badge features a bold red enamel face highlighted by a textured, sunburst pattern radiating beneath the surface. At the center sits a raised gold-toned hammer and sickle emblem, symbolizing the unified industrial and agricultural working classes of the Soviet state. The insignia is designed with a slight curvature to fit snugly against a cap, and it utilizes flexible brass split-pins extending from the sides to secure it directly to the fabric.
Circa: 1935–1991
