Notes Badge is in structurally good condition, some enamel has worn away from parts of the badge, particularly on the vulture and the crossed rifles. Rear features the text "Bolivia fb" in black marker pen. Rear is also slightly tarnished and original mountings appear to have been altered in some way, with evidence of soldering present.
