A Big Very Nice and Rare, Old, Authentic Soviet Epoch USSR Propaganda Cast PLAQUE from Steam Locomotive with Soviet Union Coat of Arms (SEAL) with 16 Strips – Republics. Weight 2.9 pounds (1.3 kg). Made in USSR right after WW2 of heavy metal alloy. Good condition – see photo for all details. It was taken from Loco after Soviet Union disintegration. The serious collector knows that the Soviet Union was consisting of 16 republics (including Karelian-Finland Soviet Socialist Republic) during a short period of time from 1946 to 1956 (before 1946 there were 11 republics, after 1956 – 15 Republics). I was born in the USSR and I was 26 years old when Ukraine became independent in 1991 in accordance with Article 3 of Treaty on the Creation of the USSR (1922, December 30). I know very well the difference between living in a totalitarian country and living in a free one. These items are historical memorabilia, just to remember this time, so that totalitarian regime doesn’t happen again in the future. Extremely rare item – great find for serious collector. DO NOT MISS YOUR CHANCE!!! Just for your collection! The authenticity is guaranteed! All pictures are actual, you receive what you see.
