Badge of an Activist of MOPR (Society to Help
Revolutionaries), #3696, 1928-1941. In superb condition,
extremely uncommon for a badge of the pre-Patriotic War
period. Comes with original maker marked wing nut.

36-mm "lapel" version in F/VF condition.

of the Air Fleet), 1923-1925. In fine to very fine
condition.
Badge of the ODVF (Society of Friends of the Air Fleet),
Northwestern Chapter, 1923-25. Scarce version in hallmarked
silver featuring a detailed depiction of a biplane and a

included Petrograd region). In very fine to excellent
condition, free of chips or other significant flaws; includes

Crimea),
membership badge, 1923-1924. More scarce Type 1 having riveted
construction with the superimposed emblem of globe, biplane

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.

Crimea),
membership badge, Type 2, 1923-1924. In outstanding, excellent

merger into ODVF in 1924.
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.
