Unknown banner

Dear all,

I am new on your nice forum. I am a beginning collector of Soviet awards and other memorabilia. At the moment I only own a few medals, orders, badges, militaria and propaganda, but maybe I post my researched ORB one of these days (it has a rather nice story I think).

Today I bought this banner on a known auction website. I payed 35 dollars for it, was this a good deal?

I already know what was on one side, it says: 'Arms of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics'. Does anyone know what the other side means, and what the purpose of this banner is?

Re: Unknown banner

Welcome!! :thumbsup

It's a nice banner, but IMO not made for a specific purpose. The text says:

Obverse:
Under the banner of Marxism-Leninism, under the guidance of the Communist Party forward to victory of Communism!

Reverse:
Proletariat of all countries, unite!

George

Re: Unknown banner

Welcome to the forum.

It's a nice old propaganda banner that any good party member would have in their home. I still have my first banner that is similar in scope to this one. Good hunting.:thumbsup

Just a word of advice; before you decide on future purchases of awards it is always in your best interest to bounce it off a few people around here. There are lots of (sometimes very good) fakes of all the good stuff these days.

Hey deValcourt!

Thanks for the additional information and the good advice. I certainly will post my next items I want to buy here first! :thumbsup

By the way, what would be the dating of this banner? 70's maybe?

Re: Unknown banner

Stylistically I'd say '50's/60's.

Hey deValcourt,

I actually don't know yet. I think it will end up in a drawer where I keep some other Soviet stuff (the rest is on display). It's too big to put it on my wall or something, and I'm afraid that the colours will fade. :)

Does anyone have some tips for display?

Re: Unknown banner

One way to display a flag...but can easily cost more than the flag
