- This is a rare silver coloured metal badge from the 1975 East German May Day celebrations. Featuring a red number 1 and the text MAI 1975.
- The badge has a safety clasp style fastener and is 2.4cm high.
- May day parades have always been based around the welcoming of springtime after the long, cold winter. Typically youth groups and fraternal organisations would parade down the streets along a specified route. Trade unions and the military would also march the route bearing banners and flags creating quite a spectacle.
