Badge "Honoured Helper Of The Border Service".
Czechoslovakian Border Guard helper badge. Badge has reverse pin attachment and series of "X"s for a finish. It also sports a trademark or mintmakr of "MK" in a circle.
I don't pretend to speak Czech, but dabbling in several Slavic languages I have good reason to believe it to read "Honest Helper of the Border Service." |

Re: Border Guard Helper
All I'm getting to is that. But... I'm wobbling between "Honest" and "Honorary".
POHRANIČNÍ STRAŽE = Border Guard. POMOCNÍK = Help, Assistant, Servant etc. ČESTNÝ = (According to the dictionary) Honest, Honourable, Honorary. It's a little bit difficult to "properly define" it, since much of it doesn't contain a specific word, but one you could translate into tens of others... But your translation would mean the same, so it's good I guess? Hope it helped. :D |

I don't speak Czech either, but "Honored" instead of "Honest" would sound more appropriate, IMHO. Marc |

Re: Border Guard Helper
I'll take "Honored" then. Thanks for help.

Re: Border Guard Helper
So would this be a badge received for ratting out your neighbor to the authorities? ;)

Re: Badge "Honoured Helper Of The Border Service".
The "ratting out" part seems like a pretty wide net, but I assume helping patrol the border or report on attempted violations were in the awarding criteria. These activities described here occur even in liberal Western democracies...

Re: Badge "Honoured Helper Of The Border Service".
I was being facetious :D
The "MK" mark would be the Mincovna Kremnica located in slovakia.
