Shows heavy wear with a lot of the detail gone from the central element. Heavy scratches to the enamel. The enamel at the right point of the star is light, probably as a result of stress, and is chipped. Comes with a transcription from the archives and a translation of that.  You can find a Red Star for less money, but not one associated with the Vienna Offensive.  You are buying the material pictured.   US shipping is .50 (1st Class shipping with tracking).
