Artillery School graduate badge, 1954-58 issue.
Brass, enamels; 35.1 x 26.8 mm. This "generic" version of the badge not specifying the year of graduation was issued for only four years, from 1954-58
Excellent condition. Both the red enamel on the banner and white enamel on the "egg" portion are essentially perfect; there are a couple of microscopic flakes and some contact marks, but these are completely unnoticeable to the naked eye and can be barely found even under 10x magnification. The fire gilt finish and details of the cannon and wreath are extremely well preserved. Minor amount of tarnish to the reverse, not detractive. The screw post is full length, over 11.5 mm, and comes with original screw plate marked "Pobeda Factory, Moscow".
/Similar to "Avers 8", p. 483, fig. 2295/.
