Description

Pentagonal brooch with gilded edges, featuring a stylized composition in vibrant colors on the front. The center of the brooch displays a stylized world map on a light blue background, traversed by golden lines resembling air routes. In the foreground, a winged golden emblem surmounts a hammer and sickle, characteristic symbols of Soviet civil aviation. The upper background, in bright red, frames the upper part of the object, while the lower part displays the inscription "АЭРОФЛОТ" in golden Cyrillic letters on a red background, clearly legible.

The brooch rests on a metal support visible on the front, typical of Soviet uniform badges or insignia. The finish has an enameled appearance, alternating shiny red and blue areas, with clear demarcations between the different colors and gilded contours. The whole gives the object an aesthetic marked by the graphic style of USSR aviation insignia, probably from the second half of the 20th century, without being able to specify an exact decade without further clues.

The visible details indicate careful craftsmanship, with smooth, shiny surfaces, and no apparent additional decoration. No major defects, chips, or scratches are visible on the front. The gilded perimeter highlights the geometric silhouette and emphasizes the contrast between the colored areas. The visible support at the base suggests use on a uniform, jacket, or cap, but only the front is observable here.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The front appears clean, with no noticeable defects visible in the photo. The shine of the enamel and gilding is well preserved. Only the front is described, with no information about the back.

Did you know? Aeroflot, founded in 1923, was the national airline of the Soviet Union and, at its peak, the largest airline in the world. Enameled insignia with the company's colors and symbols were worn by flight and ground personnel, embodying the prestige of Soviet air transport and the visual identity of the USSR internationally.
