The neck of the eyelet measures approx. 2.7 mm wide in its narrowest section - noticeably narrower than on the first version.
Outstanding, excellent condition. The enamel is perfect and exhibits beautiful luster; there are no flakes or even microscopic contact marks that could be found with a 10x loupe. The hammer & sickle emblem and other raised parts are free of wear visible to the naked eye, having only a few microscopic contact marks unnoticeable without magnification. The fire gilt finish is exceptionally well-preserved and bright on all the gilded parts.
Comes on original suspension device, a two-layer model in aluminum and steel. The old, probably original ribbon is perfectly preserved and clean. The connecting link appears to be original; its ends are still joined with solder. Overall, a superb example, practically impossible to upgrade condition-wise.
