Type 3 Version 3R2
  Badge of Honor

Instituted in 1935 with some 1,5 milllion awards issued altogether (many variations due to mass production in several mints). Early versions were screw-backs issued until 1943.  Some 130.000 of these "flatback" reverse versions with three rivets were superceded by the "concave reverse" in 1950. This specimen is in very good shape and I have several spare ones, with documents and without. See awards for exchange page or contact me.
