Lenin's Hut in Razliv, commemorative pin in silver, 1970.

Pendant is 14.1 mm tall (incl. eyelet) x 9.4 mm, suspension device is 12.4 x 13.8 mm. Highly unusual design. The pendant shows inscription "Razliv" and an image of the hut used by Lenin as a hideout in July - August 1917 while on the run from law (soon after the warrant for his arrest on espionage charges was issued by the Provisional Government). The brick wall surrounding the hut is a part of the memorial complex.

Both the suspension and the pendant show silver hallmarks "875" with Cyrillic "L" indicating Leningrad assay inspection and maker marks "0 LYu" (Russkie Samotsvety workshop in Leningrad, 1970).

This is one of the less common of the "VIP" Lenin Centenary series of badges in silver.
