pluribus Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) Hello,I have this pre WW II badge in my collection. Is it for Hungarian sea scouts? Is it a common badge?I can read on the reverse: CSERKESZBOLT NSANDOR U.6and the image of the head of boyscout with the hat.Thank you,pluribus Edited April 28, 2007 by pluribus
hunyadi Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Not a common badge - or not one that I have seen before - but mind you most people are looking for Levente items. My best guess is that its for river work as the Danube Flotilla was a very nostalgic item during the period. But also anything to do with the river or the sea in Hungary is a rare item. AS for what is written on the back:CSERKESZBOLT = "Scouts Store" so I would guess that this was a shop where you could go and buy all the required scouting needs. NSANDOR U.6 = "Nagy Sandor" (Alexander the Great) Street #6
