Unknown banner
Dear all,
I am new on your nice forum. I am a beginning collector of Soviet awards and other memorabilia. At the moment I only own a few medals, orders, badges, militaria and propaganda, but maybe I post my researched ORB one of these days (it has a rather nice story I think). Today I bought this banner on a known auction website. I payed 35 dollars for it, was this a good deal? I already know what was on one side, it says: 'Arms of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics'. Does anyone know what the other side means, and what the purpose of this banner is?

Re: Unknown banner
Welcome!! :thumbsup
It's a nice banner, but IMO not made for a specific purpose. The text says: Obverse: Under the banner of Marxism-Leninism, under the guidance of the Communist Party forward to victory of Communism! Reverse: Proletariat of all countries, unite! George |

Re: Unknown banner
Welcome to the forum.
It's a nice old propaganda banner that any good party member would have in their home. I still have my first banner that is similar in scope to this one. Good hunting.:thumbsup Just a word of advice; before you decide on future purchases of awards it is always in your best interest to bounce it off a few people around here. There are lots of (sometimes very good) fakes of all the good stuff these days. Phillip

Re: Unknown banner
Stylistically I'd say '50's/60's.

Re: Unknown banner
Very nice Jeffrey.:thumbsup You are very right though about framing costs.:thumbsdown
What I do is get an inexpensive, but at least a bit classy-looking curtain rod, enough non-piercing clips to put one about every three-four inches which prevents "sagging" curves in the top. It also holds the flag at least two inches from the wall so no contact wear, and if you want to flip them around to show the other side it is very easy. Phillip
