7+ (Very Fine+): The hat badge shows minor to moderate surface wear and the reverse shows areas of oxidation, much of the plating remains intact. The reverse shows a conversion from a double post screw back to a vertical pinback.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
