Hat badge for a Soviet Officer / Soviet private side cap, WW2 type, GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL 1940s-50s military issue item, not a recent replica or late post war issue. Made in brass plated steel and high quality enamel. About 22 - 23 mm wide (they slightly vary in shape and size). The condition is excellent, no chips or visible scratches to enamel and the brass shows no verdigris, heavy oxidation or pitting. The attachment prongs are intact. Please note, unlike modern copies, this badge is attracted to a magnet because its base material is steel. This metal was often used before and during WW2 for manufacturing Soviet badges to save the far more expensive and strategically important bronze; because this technology is long obsolete, it is very difficult if not downright impossible - and certainly not cost effective - to reproduce brass-plated steel badges of such high quality in modern conditions. PLEASE NOTE: our photos show an example, if you purchase one of these, we will send you a hat badge in matching condition from our available inventory. FREE SHIPPING (USPS 1st cl. Mail) WITHIN USA ONLY! We WILL NOT ship our eBay items outside USA.
