The enamel is essentially perfect, showing a beautiful luster; there are only a few microscopic contact marks completely unnoticeable to the naked eye, no flaking or significant wear of any kind. The gilt finish on the reverse is very nicely preserved and bright. The screw post is reduced by a few mm for convenience as is often the case but its remaining length of over 6 mm is more than sufficient for proper functionality. Comes with the original screw plate maker marked "MTKh (Moscow Artists Cooperative) Enamels Factory Overall, an outstanding example of a very scarce Soviet paratrooper badge!
