In excellent condition. The fragile silver plating on the obverse is largely intact, showing only a minor amount of wear to the raised points. The enamel is likewise nicely preserved, retaining a beautiful luster and having only some microscopic contact marks, no chips or flaking (a small "dimple" just below the center of the star appears to be a manufacturing flaw, not a result of wear). The screw post is full length, approx. 10 mm, and comes with an original screw plate in bronze-plated steel showing the logo of Pobeda Factory in Moscow.
