Original Soviet WWII “Ready for PVHO” Osoaviakhim Dosaaf Anti-Aircraft Chemical Defense Badge (1935-1939)

Original Item. Only One Available. This badge was established in 1935 at the request of the Central Council of Osoaviakhim. To receive the badge, a member of the Osoaviakhim had to be a striker in production and actively work on air defense and chemical defense in his home, factory, factory, collective farm, school, institution. In addition, the awardee had to pass all the standards of "Ready for air defense" and have his own serviceable gas mask. The sign had 2 degrees. Like the Voroshilovsky Strelka, in order to get a second degree, it was necessary to pass complicated standards.

This example is in good condition with the enamel mostly retained. It is missing the washer to secure it to the uniform, but retains the chains and small plane.

The badge measures roughly 2 x 1⅜” including the chain. A great example, ready for further research and display.
