This top-quality, massive Russian-made replica is in Brass and "Hot-Baked" Enamels and measures about 48 mm tall x 33 mm wide. The inscription near the bottom is "For Excellent Shooting". The badge comes complete with a convincing looking aged screw plate. It's in excellent condition with nice "age" patina to silver plating that adds to the overall impression.

This replica is of such a high quality that it can probably easily full an unsuspecting beginner, although there are many differences in its construction and details with the original badge that are obvious to experienced collector.

These types of badges were issued to the Red Army officers attending the Vystrel Officer Training Program. Original badges are quite scarce and expensive, so this copy can serve as a nice substitute to fill a gap in the collector's display.
