Badge Honored Radio Operator of USSR Type 1 in SOLID SILVER 1940s Signals Medal

Description: Soviet Award Badge of Honored Radio Operator of the USSR, Type 1 in SOLID SILVER, late 1940s issue.This is GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL badge issued during the Stalin’s reign – NOT a replica or later issue.The badge is of attractive Soviet propaganda design featuring a radio tower with a Soviet star standing on top of the world. Its quality is outstanding, typical of Soviet Mint production. Measures 49.2 mm in height, 26.8 mm in width; weighs 10.3 g not including the screw plate. This is the early version of the badge made in SOLID SILVER (as opposed to the later version in brass) and high quality “hot-baked” blue and red enamels. Unlike the later version, the reverse is smooth, without counter-relief. The badge is in GOOD condition. The enamel is overall well preserved and presentable although there are surface chips to the blue border in the upper right segment and under the star. Because the damage does not penetrate to silver, it is not very glaring. The blue enamel on the lower half of the badge as well as the upper left segment is perfect, and so is the red enamel on the scrolls. The enamel retains attractive luster throughout. All the enamel on the badge is 100% ORIGINAL: there are no enamel repairs. The raised details of the tower, globe and wreath are perfect and exceptionally crisp. The screw post is nearly 12 mm in length, has not been reduced. The mint marked screw plate is original to the badge and fits perfectly.Although technically a civilian award, a lion share of these badges was apparently awarded to the military. Not surprisingly, it is shown in some of the reference books on Soviet military badges, for example Borisov's Breast Badges of the Soviet Armed Forces (C. 2004). This award is also shown in the Avers 8 (page 160, fig. 776.a).FREE SHIPPING (USPS 1st cl. Mail) WITHIN USA ONLY! We WILL NOT ship our eBay items outside USA.
