Badge "Ready for Medical Defense of the USSR", 1st Level, #792978, 1934 - 1941.

Steel, bronze plating, enamels. The pendant is 28.7 mm wide including the eyelets for the chain - somewhat smaller than most other versions. Features a relatively smooth reverse with a faint counter-relief. Ther serial number is stamped on the lower teeth of the cogwheel.

In excellent condition. The enamel and bronze plating are perfect; much of the original nickel or silver plating on the reverse is also intact. Includes original suspension and chains. The screw post of the suspension is full length of nearly 10 mm - has not been reduced. Comes with a very scarce original, perfectly fitting screw plate marked "ROKK (Red Cross and Crescent Society of Russia) (of the) Vyborg District [referring to a district of the city of Leningrad]". A very nice early piece.
