AlecH Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hello Gents, Could anyone help me out with this small (2cm x 2cm) Lenin screw back badge. I've been trying to determine its purpose, a friend suggest its - (Komsomol) "Communist Youth for military heroism" about 1944, but he's not certain. I would be grateful if anyone has any information and could let me know. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 It is a Komsomol members badge from the 1970s and 80s. You can pick these up in Moscow markets for about 10 Roubles (20 US cent) each. The pin back type are civilian, the screwback type are military. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
