The early production badge is in very nice condition with nice dark finish and bright highlights. The rear ball hinge hardwear set up is usually attributed to Gablonze style and is complete without repairs. This badge comes with its period blue box that again is in very nice condition with clear details to the lid, faded slightly due to storage. Box outer finish is close to 100% clean with working front catch and back hing. Inside again clean with a complete cloth inner hinge. A nice early medal for sure!
