Soviet Key Brooch

[dognose]

Hi,

Can anyone enlighten me with the details of this Soviet piece:









Is the wording commemorative, or perhaps a traditional message?

The letters on the key simply spell out Leningrad. I don't know the maker's mark, but the 9 could be a date code and the L Yu might stand for Leningrad Jewellers

Hi Agphile,

Many thanks for that.
