I've seen that type of finial used by Young Pioneers, but then again they were in parade or guarding an eternal flame memorial

Marc,

Thanks again for I.D.ing the flag badge. By the way, and in your research, did you happen to see an image of the badge being worn. Would like to match something like that with the pin. Thanks.

I collect "flag pins" and in another realm am a vellixologist (sp) flag dude.

I had this pin that I could not identify which I too thought was military but had not unit designation. I am glad to know (or claim now) that it is an olympic pin. A friend worked on the closing ceremonies in Athens and she will be impressed.

Here is another pin of similar type.

Almed,

Same pin, different manufacturing.

Thanks, Mark.
So do you mean that this pin was made particularly for the 1952 Summer Olympics games?
