Most focus on the Young Pioneers in Czechoslovakia, the majority of items come from Kosice (Eastern Slovakia), the Flag from a school in Udavske, and the pins are various awards from Trade Unions/Factories/Towns etc... To my knowledge no one likes to copy Czechoslovak stuff hehe... Of course having family over there helps significantly with finds!

PaulR Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Cool display of seldom seen or discussed items. I hope to see more of these items and learn more about them. I like the Brotherhood set. It reminds of me of a similar medal set the East Germans had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
