50 Years Of Liepāja Regional Komsomol Banner.

[KAM648307@AOL.C]

Greetings,
As I am a new "poster" to this site I will try not to make too much of a fool of myself. I have a question about a flag or banner I recently acquired..I'm hoping someone may shed some light on it for me. The banner is large..about 3x5..red silk I believe with gold lettering..the image of Lenin? in the center,the dates 1918 on the left and 1968 on the right with alot of russian text top and bottom. the banner is very heavy and in very good condition. Any info and on what it is and if it is valuable would be very appreciated.
Thanks for your time

Someone who speaks Latvian will be the actual authority, but it looks like a Soviet Comsomol flag from the Liepaja region.

Kam,

It is a Latvian Komsomol flag commemorating the 50th anniversary of that organization.

Thanks for the info.
As you may have guessed..I am not a collector, I'm sure this flag holds importance with someone. I would really like to see someone who can appreciate it have it. I'm located in Dayton,Ohio..can you suggest someone or perhaps an organization that I can contact in order to get this flag to someone who may want it. I honestly don't wish to make a fortune off this flag..I just want to see someone have it who can appreciate it. Thanks again!:)
