Interesting Badge but no idea what it is for :)

Maybe a translator out there?

Regards Eddie

Taz,

I posted a badge from the LPSR here. Do you have any information about the LPSR or that badge?

Hi Marc,

Sorry no info on that one, I've been keeping a look out for info on it though.
Not GDR that seems fairly certain.
From the initials it seems Latvian, although it's strange that the P isn't on the top ray of the star.

Regards Eddie.

I believe this is for the Winner of a Socialist Competition of an Industrial Cooperative, and is a close relative of the badge in this post:

Thanks very much Keith,

I was hoping you would have a look because of your interest in Baltic state items :)

What is your opinion on Marcs Badge, any ideas?

Best regards Eddie.

Eddie,

Marc's badge is interesting, LPSR stands for Latvian SSR in the Latvian language, so I am pretty sure that this is Latvian. I would guess from the symbols that this is either from the Soviet period in Eastern Latvia from 1918-1920 or the first complete Soviet period in Latvia from 1940-1941. Mostly likely this is not an award, but who knows, perhaps it is some high level rare decoration. I have seen similar, but not the exact same thing, for Estonia from 1940-41.
