    Are you here to contribute on the forum as well, or do you only need information to make money and then disappear?

    Look: My grandfather was lieutenant colonel in the Hungaian Army after the second world war, a great Messerschimit BF 109 plan hanging on my room's wall, got a lot of communist insignia at my deceased grandfather's home :) Do you really think i just want money from the remembrance of the second world war?

    I've never seen this pin before, but the damaged back (rust and missing pin) means it will have quite a reduced value.

    Thanks for the reply!
    I saw the green and the another red pin on the internet, but i thought it's different, becouse it goes with an another font and another colors. Unfortunately it's damaged so maybe i'll keep it. I'm living in Hungary, but I haven't seen this one in the military museum.
