Hungarian Parade Badges
There were two big holidays in Hungary that called for massive celebrations, parades and badges. One was the International Day of the Worker- May Day- celebrated, of course, on May 1st (the first of these badges was produced in 1945). The other was Hungarian Liberation Day, celebrated on April 4th (the first of these badges- an example shown here- was produced in 1950). During the Rakosi period, these could be worn on the military uniform for a period of one year following the parade. Here is a group of three badges from the Rakosi period... they're 21mm across.
