Brass gilt, "cold" enamels; measures 64.5 mm wide x 26.5 mm tall. The badge is very similar in its design to the contemporary Soviet badge of a Tank Driver. The numeral in the center shield designates proficiency level (3 being the lowest and 1 the highest).

Excellent condition. The enamel retains beautiful luster, shows no rubbing or other significant wear. The gilt finish is bright with just minimal tarnish that is not detractive. Includes fully functional original pin attachment.

This very interesting military badge was established soon after the suppression of the Hungarian revolution by the Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries. It was reportedly issued for just a few years.
