...I am VERY suspicious regarding the state prize No. 3003 - NO WARE TRACES, PERFECT gold plating, gold plated screwplate with no markings, gold plated ring etc.

Tal,
It looks like you've never seen a genuine State Prize medal before, as this is exactly how authentic 2nd class medal was made - gold plated ring, gold plated screwplate, and no markings on the screwplate...
As for condition - Eugene said all about it - these medals were rarely worn - hence almost mint condition.
Medal looks 100% real to me.
