Hello all -

Its a one sided embroidered banner with a 'pillowed' coat of arms. Roughly translated it reads

"Steel and Machine Industry Ministry"

"Manager of Electrical Fixtures"

(coat of arms)

"Year of 1953"

"Civil Defense Military Maneuvers II Place Winner"

So its a banner to hang on the wall recognizing the efforts of a factory manager in his work with the 1953 military execrcises.

Slightly Its interesting that its awarded to the manager of light switches. There is a common joke among the military should anyone invade Hungary 'Would the last soldeir to leave the country please turn off the lights!'
