It can't be a post-communist badge, but it is missing the star on the top. The H&S are badly formed and almost not there at all. So, it isn't a blank even though the badge at this stage is nickle or chrome plated and there is no text on the open book. The screw is also considerably wider than the complete badge.
So, what is then? Enigma.:weird....
Phillip,
It looks like it was struck from a very worn die.
