Badge for Excellence in People's Education of Belorussia, 1946 - early 1950s.
In brass and enamels; measures 36.6 mm in height, 25.0 mm in width. The inscription on the banner in Belorussian language reads "Excellent (employee) of People's Education". The writing on the red scroll at the bottom is "Ministry of Education of BSSR". A very attractive badge exhibiting typical "rugged" quality of the 1940s period.
In outstanding, excellent condition. The enamel is perfect, free of any wear visible even under a 10x magnification. The details of the wreath and its gilt finish are pristine. The original copper screw post is of full or near full length, approx. 10 mm. The screw plate maker-marked "UPK UKhA" is of the 1940 period, fits the screw perfectly, and is probably original to the badge.
