Most genuine WWII otlichnik badges I have seen do not/not have perfect enamel. It was done in wartime and has small bubbles and often knicks or chips out of it. You can sometimes see lots of dirt in the bubbles and knicks. Red was especially susceptible to chips as were any translucent enamel (vis opaque enamel which tended to bubble more than chip).
