Tal,
That was the standard pin of the Soviet Union National Olympic Committee. They gave a bunch of these to each member of the Soviet olympic team. This model (minor variations exist) was used from the 1960's "do raspoda sovietskovo sojuza". Marc |

To revive this thread, here are scans of the unissued document given to every member of the Soviet Olympic Team. It has a high quality padded leather cover.
Olympic team members also received the corresponding badge shown in posts #5 and #6. Marc |

Soviet Olympic Team Badge.
An interesting flag badge; heavy brass construction, safety pin-type fastener. Workmanship is, in my opinion, on par with medals/orders, but no makers' mark present. Incredible detail- check out the star in the pole topper. Fine metallic red enamel with heavy lacquer over. This was not meant as a "throw-away" by any means. Does anyone have any ideas on this badge?

I believe the design of the "pole topper" indicates a military unit banner.

I acquired this badge through an Australian interest and, due to the construction of the piece, was wondering if it might be a pin worn by, say, members of the foreign service. Appears to have been made, at a guess, in the 50's or very early 60's- as I said, heavy brass (flatback). Back when the USSR had money.

Hard to say on time period - I'm guessing 60's. I've never seen anything like it and with the pin I'd lean on foreign (non-Soviet) manufacture. Interesting piece.

Paul,
I've seen soviet badges mostly from the 1960's with this type of pin. Marc |
