CSM with a touch of Uzbek folk art...

I picked this little guy up yesterday. The hand-engraving added to the reverse is a nice local Uzbek touch. It's first time I've seen something like this, and relatively low serial number (487,051) is a small bonus.

Nice one,

But still much better than the one I bought a week ago as part of a set.
Much thicker than an original and no red enamel

That is about the weirdest thing I've seen done.
