  Product Description : Antique Katowitz Polish Town Poland Heraldic Crest Eagle Coat of Arms Pin Badge

• An antique silver coloured metal pin badge from Poland.

  The badge face is 1.5cm high and has a long, stick pin style fastener to the rear.
  It is an antique pin badge that displays the heraldic crest of Katowitz and would make a lovely gift for someone with connections to this beautiful place.

  These kinds of tourist pins were collected by tourists back in the communist days, when foreign travel was out of the question for most citizens.
  You would buy a pin and wear it as a souvenier of your visit.
  These days there are no towns or attractions that produce these pins, which is a shame and makes these old examples very special.

  The heraldic crests themselves are usually steeped in history, most of the towns and cities in the Bohemia and Moravian areas started appearing around 700 to 800 years ago and the crests tell of battles against the Swedish or the invading Turks, of defending angels and Christ's Holy Grail. The heraldic crests today remain the same but people tend to forget the origin and history of them.
