Description
Soviet Honored Railway Employee badge #60454
Made of silver plated brass and enamels. Riveted two-piece construction. Measures 44.48 mm in height; 32.27 mm in width at its widest point and weighs 23.9 gram without its screwplate.
This Soviet Honored Railway Employee badge is in nice condition with all details visible and most silver plating present. Even the higher laying parts like the locomotive show light wear only. The enamel shows some flaking and repairs underneath the hammer and sickle and on the lower banner. The badge comes with its original screwplate which shows similar silver plating and its screw has not been shortened.
This badge was the highest award to railroad employees, equivalent of “Honored” titles in other fields. Like the other “honorary badges”; the early type of this decoration was made in silver.
