Description
Badge to a Friend of DOBROKHIM
Society of Friends of Chemical Defense and Chemical Industry 1924-1925
Made of solid silver and enamels. It measures 28.90 mm in height (flagpole), 34.54 mm in width and weighs 10.8 gram without its screwplate. The reverse shows 3 silver hallmark stamps.
The badge is in a great, above average condition with its details crisp and an appealing patina to the silver. The green enamels are mostly present and without repairs but show a superficial chip on the right side of the soldier’s head, barely noticeable. Its screw has not been shortened and the badge comes with its well fitted and time period screwplate.
Beautiful and rare piece
