Vintage 1972 Czech Hunting Dog Show Pin Badge Roznov pod Radhostem CMS Pointer

The pin badge is an irregular shield-shaped commemorative piece with a multi-colored enamel finish layered over a stamped metal base. The item is fitted with a traditional long stick pin fastener attached near the top center of its textured, unpolished reverse side. Measuring 2.5cm in diameter, the piece displays a high-relief metallic border that matches the warm brass tone of the needle-like attachment.

The pin badge features a beautifully stylized design highlighting traditional Czechoslovakian hunting elements. At the center is a highly detailed, raised profile of a pointing breed set against a dark enamel background, capturing the expressive features of the canine. The lower portion of the perimeter is flanked by green enameled conifer branch motifs that cradle a white enameled shield at the bottom apex, which bears the stamped letters "ČMS" underneath a stylized deer antler logo. The upper arched banner frame carries the embossed text "OBLASTNÍ VÝSTAVA ROŽNOV P. RADH. 1972," completing the composition.



The pin badge dates back to 1972, minted specifically to mark the Regional Hunting Dog Show held in the scenic town of Rožnov pod Radhoštěm in the former Czechoslovakia. The acronym at the base denotes membership or attendance with the Český Myslivecký Svaz (Czech Hunting Association), a historic institution deeply tied to forestry and canine field sports behind the Iron Curtain.
