The Centennial Latvian Song Festival in Commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the USSR, Participant's or Staff Member's Badge, 1973.
In silver-plated brass and enamels; 26.6 mm wide, two piece-construction: the harp with wreath is a separate superimposed part. A very well- made badge, far better than typical commemorative or souvenir pins of musical festivals. It is interesting to see that the event took place on the 100th anniversary of the Latvian song festival but was dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the USSR (which actually took place a year earlier in 1972). Both anniversaries are designated by the appropriate numeral on the badge.
Please note, the penny in our photo is for size reference.
