C 06 -- Choibalsan's Best Shooter
These have been well discussed on and off in isolated threads. This is the Type 1 badge (angled rifle);I don't have a Type 2 (horizontal rifle) yet.
There is variability in manufacturing over time, mainly reduction in weight. I have an older one (shown here) at 15.7 g and a leter lightweight (can we use that word in connection with Choibalsan?) at 14.15 g.

And the document interior spread. Yes, blue-coloured plastic. Not in great shape!

V01 unfortunately wit severe enamel damage
No reason to apologize for the damage. The early MRYL badges were heavily worn, it seems. I'd be surprised to see them WITHOUT damage,

I can do no more than agree with the preceeding posts. Efforts are underway to save what records still survive with the regiments, but it may not be much.
