1980 Moscow Summer Olympics - Soviet made Enameled Lapel Pins/Souvenirs
These pins are souvenirs from the 1980 Summer Olympic Games in Moscow.
- Pin #1 is an enameled figural pin of the mascot - Mishka the Bear
- Pin #2 is a Gold-tone enameled pin w/ The 1980 Summer Games symbol and symbols of Tallinn, Estonia formerly part of the USSR where some of the 1980 Olympic events were held
These games mark the first time a Communist country hosted the Summer games. It is also the games that the US and 60+ other countries boycotted the games over the USSR's invasion of Afghanistan.
If you're gonna buy more than one thing from me -
ask for an invoice before paying - that makes it so easy for me to combine
shipping and save you $$$.
These pins and many other things I am listing are from the vast collection of an archivist, numismatist, historian, and enthusiast I was lucky enough to call an Uncle-in-law.
As always - thanks for looking!
