    Help with this Soviet badge marked "FIA Lyon"


    Eric Gaumann

    Recommended Posts

    Can you help me with this strange, Soviet badge, please?

    I've collected Soviet items for years now and have never seen a Soviet badge manufactured by a Capitalist Country.  This Soviet style looks to me 1950s, but It could be earlier, even pre-WW2.  It's a long service (10 years I assume) badge issued by a 'sports committee' in the USSR.  Google shows me FIA Lyon started (and still exists) as a badge and medal manufacturer in 1928.

    Any ideas?

    In my opinion the topic belongs to Soviet badges division.There are many of them for sale in Russian forums or shops.Material-silver.Here you are with the document -1980.

    True, but I know what it is.  I just don't know why it was made in France?  Was hoping one of the learned members here knew a little about FIA Lyon.

    Hello Eric,

    I have no idea why FIA (which stands for Fabrique d'Insignes Artistiques, formerly Augis a Lyon based maker of badges and medals) got the contract to produce those badges.

    The badge is for the Sport Commitee of the USSR. I believe X, XV, XX stands for 10, 15 or 20 years membership ?

    Cheers

    Bill
