Busted, Broken, Beaten but Beautiful

Hey guys,

I have a real thing for damaged and beaten up awards, what's the most beaten up award you have?

There was a nice one on here somewhere where it looked as if someone had taken a chisel to Stalin's face!

You will find that this Gold Star Nota Bene posted many years ago will win every time, unless you want me to get a hammer out?

A sorry SORRY state indeed but at least it still exists to some extent.

It really does make you wonder how they got like that.

Super jealous though!
