This is a pretty rare sports badge, I think. It is a Dynamo Sports Club of the Transcausasus Federation badge, circa 1925. Dynamo in those days was almost excusively Chekist. Oh yeah, you knew that. Since I found this in Tbilisi, it is probably from Dynamo-Tbilisi, which still exists. Of course, that is just speculation.
I was really surprised to some across this badge a couple of months ago. I keep getting lost trying to count all the sports depicted on it. The languages around the border are Russian, Georgian, Azeri and Armenian. I love this badge and I hope you like it.
