Wat05 Posted December 24, 2024 Posted December 24, 2024 Yes, Czechoslovakia. On the front, “I Am Ready”, and on the back, I think it is “Ministry of National Defence” (MNO) followed by something which translates differently from Czech and Slovak to English. But it is probably “Youth Military Fitness Competition” 2

svapr Posted February 24 Posted February 24 Hello, this is a badge that was awarded to participants in youth sports competitions. These competitions were once part of the military education of youth. There is a reference to Zborov, where a significant battle of the Czechoslovak legions took place in 1917. 1
