Ulsterman Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I nice little badge, all of 2cm across and of 1960s-1980s manufacture I reckon (cheaper metal, nice enamel) from the M.H.S., (the national paramilitary sports club).Oddly enough though- I translate this as "Excellent Listener"...which makes me wonder if it was awarded for sitting through Marxist theory lectures, bad Marxist poetry seminars or for radio reception work. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Perhaps "Excellent Student"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunyadi Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 It actually translates to 'Excellent Alumni'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Craig Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Ulsterman,I went digging through my MHS stuff to see if I had more of this same badge in silver or bronze but all I have is one like yours. Possibly this is the only version issued. We should be able to narrow the time frame down a bit more though. The MHS changed the way they wrote the short form of their name to MHSZ at some time but I can not remember when. Perhaps Charles can refresh my memory? I know that they still used MHS in 1961 because I have an MHS badge with that date on it. The name of the organization remained as "?SSZETETT HONVED. VERSENY" with both short forms.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
