In magnetic steel with bronze and silver plating and enamels. The medallion is 24.8 mm tall, 22.9 mm wide (not including the projections for chain attachment) - significantly smaller in size than most of the other, common versions of the badge. Weighs 4.9 g with suspension, not including the screw plate. The airplane-shaped suspension device has about 14.4 mm wingspan - also much smaller than the regular versions.

In excellent condition. The enamel is essentially perfect, having only a few microscopic contact marks and manufacturing flaws invisible to the naked eye, completely free of significant wear. The raised details are extremely well preserved and crisp. The suspension chains are original and complete. The screw post of the suspension is of full length, well over 8.5 mm. The screw post is of full or near full length, approx. 8 mm. Comes with a screw plate marked "PRPK Stamping Factory" which is of the period, fits the screw perfectly, and may be original to the badge.
