The visible side is divided into four distinct quarters: on the left, three vertical red bands on a golden background; in the upper right, a stylized blue and red motif on a golden background, possibly evoking a horse's head or a heraldic animal; in the lower right, a stylized design evoking an eagle or a bird perched on a base, all on a light gray background. The outline of the badge is highlighted by a golden border, accentuating the retro effect and the elaborate finish of the piece. The main colors are red, gold, blue, and gray, with a glossy effect typical of antique enamels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface shows visible patina, with slight traces of wear and micro-scratches, signs of authentic use and age.
