      Hello Stefan:
      Text above Soviet Union Arms reads "Workers of the World Unite",
      the USSR (CCCP) national motto of the time. Flag has 16 scrolls with
      the same motto expressed in ethnic languages on the wheat shafts which
      makes it post WW2 IMO. Such flags retail for around $200 USD these days,
      depending on condition, extent of embroidery, and if there is something
      on the backside, like and organizational award citation. Soviet arms versions:
      1 First version (1923-1936) -------> 7 scrolls, count includes one at bottom
      2 Second version (1936-1946) ---> 11 scrolls, used on unit flags until ~1942
      3 Third version (1946-1956) -----> 16 scrolls, Latvia, Estonia, etc., added
      4 Fourth version (1956-1991) ---> 15 scrolls, Finland SSR scroll removed.

          WW2 eleven scroll version example

          Here is what the WW2 eleven scroll Soviet arms design looks like,
          which was used on various unit "level" versions, a design pattern
          not only used by the Red Army but also by rarer NKVD unit flags.
