Condition Notes
This badge is in all-original, unrestored survivor condition with wear entirely appropriate for its 95+ years of age. It retains beautiful deep blue enamel details across the shield stripes. Please note that there is partial enamel loss and chipping on the upper "OAKLAND" text banner and around the top edge, exposing the natural aged brass patina underneath. There are no major bends or cracks to the metal framework. Please review all listing photos closely with the included tape measure for an exact look at the cosmetic condition and scale.
