Soviet Excellent Railroad Signalman Badge WW2 Railway Series Medal RARE ORIGINAL

Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Soviet Excellent Railway Signalman badge of the “WW2 Railroad Proficiency” Series, late 1940s - mid-1950s issue.This is a GUARANTEED ORIGINAL badge of the Stalin era, not a more recent reissue or replica!Made in Brass and high-quality Hot-Baked Enamels; measures 38.5 mm in height from the bottom to the highest point of the flag not including the flagpole finial, 26.0 mm in width; weighs 11.2 g without the screw plate. A very attractive and well-made piece of typical Soviet quality of the period. The Excellent Signalman badge was one of several badges of the so-called railway proficiency series. These badges were introduced during the war, in 1942 and were essentially medals for outstanding performance, often under enemy fire. They were hard to earn and their recipients would have various privileges for life! The Signalman badge is by far the rarest of the badges of this series. The badge is in good condition, especially for the scarce Signalman badge! The enamel on the banner is chipped on two small segments of the banner on the right, but is completely intact on the larger portion of the banner and shows a very attractive luster. The enamel on the horizontal plaque with the inscription “Signalman” is practically perfect, having only some tiny hairlines invisible to the naked eye, no flaking or chips. The white enamel as well as the red enamel on the Signals insignia in the center is perfect. All the enamel on this piece is 100% ORIGINAL: there are no enamel repairs. Raised details of the artwork are perfect and crisp. The screw post is original, of full length (nearly 12.5 mm) and has not been repaired. The badge includes the original screw plate maker-marked “ShMZ-D MPS” (Narkomat of Railroad Transportation, Mechanical Stamping Factory"). This interesting and uncommon Soviet award can be an equally nice addition to either a Russian medal collection or railroad memorabilia collection. The Railroad Signalman Badge is very hard to find even in less than perfect condition – and we are offering it at a bargain price! FREE SHIPPING (USPS Ground Advantage Mail) WITHIN USA ONLY! We WILL NOT ship our eBay items outside USA.
