Badge of ODVF (Society of Friends of the Air Fleet), Northwestern Chapter, 1924-
25. Very elegant award in hallmarked silver and enamels issued for less than a
year for donations or active volunteer work in the society (its Northwestern
branch included Petrograd region). Superb condition, very rare for this
badge and impossible to upgrade. Includes original hallmarked screw plate.
OAVUK (Society of Aviation and Aeronautics of Ukraine and
Crimea),
membership badge, 1923-1924. More scarce Type 1 having riveted
construction with the superimposed emblem of globe, biplane
and hammer & sickle. Unlike the ODVF chapters in various
regions of RSFSR and other Soviet republics, the Ukrainian
society operated under its own name and apparently enjoyed a
certain degree of autonomy until the 1924 merger into the all-
union ODVF.
ODVF Badge "Ultimatum", 1923. Featuring an airplane and a fist
with star, this pin was given for donations to build Soviet
air force. The donation drive was as a part of the propaganda
campaign in response to the British 1923 note to the Soviet
government (so-called "Curzon Ultimatum"). In excellent
condition.
