Soviet Excellent Sniper Badge

Description

Soviet Excellent Sniper Badge

Wartime Piece 

Made of brass and enamels. Measures 45.07 mm in height, 36.64 mm in width and weighs 17.0 gram without its screwplate.

The badge is in excellent, well above average condition with all details crisp and a fair amount of gold plating still present. The red and white enamels are without repairs and only show some small dings and contact marks. It comes with its old and well fitted screwplate and its screw has not been shortened.

Interesting to see quality control was less tight with these badges than with orders and medals; a small piece of a screw was soldered on its reverse. This is not the result of a repair but just an error of the person dealing with this badge.

Increasingly hard to find
