The overall shape is cut to follow the contours of the animal, and the finish has a shiny gold appearance on the borders, contrasting with the central green filling. The \"APM\" inscription is perfectly legible and centered on the bird's body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible part shows careful workmanship, with a clear demarcation between the gilded and colored areas. The green used is a deep and uniform shade, evoking a retro style typical of promotional or associative accessories from the 80s-90s. The surface of the pin has a slight relief, which accentuates the contrast between the apparent metal and the central motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe observed condition appears to be very good, with well-preserved golden shine and no visible defects on the front face. The pin is presented on a small transparent plastic square, suggesting careful storage. No snags, scratches, or traces of oxidation are apparent on the main face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis APM pin is a true retro accessory, appreciated for its clean design and graphic symbolism. It is part of the tradition of advertising or institutional badges, frequently distributed at events, promotional campaigns, or within associations. Its style and color palette are characteristic of promotional items from the late 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side does not show any manufacturer or specific year indication, but the typography and craftsmanship suggest a production probably dating from the late 20th century. The whole evokes pins made of gilded and enameled metal, but without explicit mention of the material, it is appropriate to speak of a gilded appearance and a green enameled effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
