It is highly unlikely that the serial numbers for these Udarnik badges will be items that can be researched any time soon. Leave it alone. Should things change, you (or a future custodian) can always assault the solder-clod.

It is a nice (enough) mirror-back Udarnik, enjoy it. And further enjoy the history of what seems to me to be a user-made repair. These are real, living things, don't forget or ignore that.
