A pretty 1980 anniversary pin from Tatra automobiles. The badge face is 3cm in diameter and has a stick pin fastener to the rear. The pin features the first Tatra vehicle, a horse drawn coach.
Historical Background
Tatra were formed in 1897 in the Moravian part of what would become Czechoslovakia in twenty years. Before the second world war they produced many types of car, and designed entirely new concept cars that were streamlined and decades ahead of the competition.During German wartime occupation the plans for the streamlined tatras were stolen by the German government and the Volkswagen beetle was created.
The modern tatra company has focused production on trucks. Heavy duty military vehicles by tatra currently serve all over the globe as weapons platforms and construction vehicles.
