Badge "Excellent Tankist" - KDVR - 11-15-2009
Excellent Tanker Badge
Mid 1940s. One of the early versions of the Tanker's badge.
Opinion needed concerning:
1. Period of issue => Mid 1940s?
2. Correct screw?
THANK YOU!

Thank you - so the badge and the screwplate are ok? is this badge a war time issue?

Mostlikely it is waretime or short after. This badge is a Narkomat production (NKPS) and the Narkomats worked till 1946 and than they were restructured into ministrys.

They are both genuine, just do not belong together :)
