I am soliciting the thoughts of our membership as to what this might be. It measures about an inch across. I've been told this type of welded attachment pin was used on znacki from the 1950's thru the 1970's.

That H&S design looks strange; almost sure it´s not soviet. I´ve seen that kind of pin too in other soviet badges, so I assume it may have been made in the USSR but for a communit organization of another country.

I don't think that it is sovet, as Esteban pointed out. As to the pin attachment, this was a fairly standard type at the time; I would not link it to a specific country.

The attachment method is similar to Soviet 50s style while the pin itself I've not seen on anything Soviet. The safety pin looks more Western, to me, and possibly of the same era.
I like the overall look of it.

The pin and catch is exactly like one on an Azerbaijan badge I just got in - and the circular plate attaching it to the badge is also common (lots of Bulgarian/Hungarian badges have the same design). As for country of origin for this specific design (obverse), I agree with the non-Soviet (at least not in the all-union sphere).

Finally arrived and made a couple of more scans. . . The quality of the enamel is excellent. . . Where's Richie C when you need him?

As the picture name suggests, could it possibly be German?
