A numbered badge such as this one points to a series, and series pieces are fun to hunt down and compare. Fencing is an Olympic sport, so this pin works well in a sports or Olympic section of a Soviet badge collection, and its silver and red scheme looks sharp in a display. Because the badge is small and light, it is simple to store in a collector's album, and the contrast between the silver and the red makes the number and the fencing image easy to read. Sports badges from the USSR remain a lively niche among pin collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67681934213269,"sku":"EBAY-407168471360","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/ussr-sportloto-fencing-badge-silver-red-olympic-pin-1.jpg?v=1791722612","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/ussr-sportloto-fencing-badge-silver-red-olympic-pin","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
