It was a source of national pride, so it is not surprising that it appeared on souvenir pins. Collectors interested in aviation, the Cold War or Soviet technology tend to like this subject, and the green enamel gives the badge a distinct look compared with the more common red political pins. Small pins are an inexpensive way to collect Soviet aircraft, and this one can be grouped with other airliner, rocket and space badges in a display frame. The aircraft silhouette is the main design element, so the outline against the green background is worth checking in the photos. It is a pleasing small item for aviation fans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67681934311573,"sku":"EBAY-407168457007","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/tu-144-soviet-supersonic-airliner-pin-badge-1.jpg?v=1791722619","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/tu-144-soviet-supersonic-airliner-pin-badge","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
