A pretty, metal pin badge from 1957 advertising the fact that CSA had just become the second airline in the world to use jet aircraft after Aeroflot.
It was a very proud moment for the Czech national airline and these pins were given away to passengers and collectors at the time.
The badge face is 1.6cm wide and has a long, stick pin fastener.
The text on the badge face reads 'CSA' and features the Tu-104 with its unmistakeable jet engines integrated into the wing, much like the BAE comet. - OK-LDA pictured below was the first Tu-104 to enter service in Czechoslovakia and is preserved today at Kbely Aircraft Museum
