BGTO (Be Ready for Labor and Defense) Youth Physical Fitness Badge, 1946-1961 issue.
Brass, enamels; 22.0 x 17.0 mm.
In excellent condition. The enamels and gilt finish are nicely preserved. The raised details are perfect and crisp. The screw post is full length, well over 7 mm, and comes with an original screw plate maker-marked "MTKh Enamels Factory".
This early post-war version of the badge is relatively scarce, especially in excellent condition.
