Badge "Excellent Military Construction".

Just compare the submachine gun and the spade on my badge for example with yours. On my late type they are inverted and painted black.

Good piece of information, Jens. I did not realize that the blackening was indication of the production period. Thank you.

Here is one of my variations of this badge from 1960.

The PPSH and spade aren't inverted as in later variations. The black paint is very sloppy though. It comes with its Pobeda factory screwplate.
