Badge "Young Dinamovist".

[Greg Collins]

I have been told that, like the KGB (USSR) and the MfS (DDR), the Dinamo was the athletic club of the Securitate/Ministry of the Interior. I've also been told that a certain amount was deducted from police paychecks for the Dinamo football clubs in both Bucharest and Victoria. Here's an older (I'd say '50's or '60's), nice looking and well made badge of a "Young Dinamo-ist".I would imagine this (youth athletics) was a useful tool in spotting and cultivating potential future agents. The badge is un-numbered and with a standard pin back.
