    Hungary does not have anything close to the rifle, anchor, and propeller. Lacking a sizeable water port - it was pointless. This is the badge of the MHSz "Hungarian Freedom Fighters Assosciaion" - a paramilitary organization which focused on spreading comminism and sports...

    with regards the D.D.R insignia above, today I was having a look through the Gypsy market in Deva,

    Some teenager has super-glued the cloth badge upside-down to the school bag :banger:

    I took it for 2 Euro, but will have to consider carefully cutting the badge,

    from the flap of the bag (which then hopefully the flap, can be repaired with a more suitable patch),

    Darn youngsters and super-glue :speechless:

    Kevin in Deva. :cheers:

    Kevin,

    Great badge and a set of initials I have not seen before. Common ones are MHS amd MHSZ. This would appear to be another variation on the two I quoted previously because the badge itself is the same as others I have woth MHS or MHSZ on them.

    Regards,

    Gordon

    Here is a number of stick pins issued by the Hungarian MHSZ. Each pin represents a different military skill taught by the MHSZ before people entered their obligatory military service. The pins clearly illustrate the individual skills taught.

    Regards,

    Gordon
