Soviet Sports medal

Hi all,

I think this one says Locomotive... not sure if it has anything to do with their railroads or not but it was a throw in on a deal and a rather nice one I think.

Locomotive Sports Club was a national sports club with local clubs everywhere. It was like, for instance, Dynamo or Spartak, with membership supposedly limited to industry/trade/occupation-associated members. They were the owners and builders of sports facilities everywhere, including huge national sports arenas.

This badge was probably for a local club-level volleyball championship. It's an interesting find and worthy of collecting and preserving. It should appeal to sports, volleyball or Locomotive Club collectors.

Nice catch.
