The enamel is essentially perfect, completely free of any flaking, chips or rubbing - an unusual case for a Soviet badge of WW2 era. There is a beautiful luster throughout and only a few microscopic contact marks completely invisible to the naked eye. The raised details of the artwork are exceptionally well preserved and crisp. The screw post is full length, nearly 12 mm, and comes with an original screw plate maker-marked "NKPS Sh.M. Z" (Narkomat of Railroad Transportation, Mechanical Stamping Factory").Overall, a great early example of one of the harder to find badges of the railway proficiency series.
