The pin badge is a rectangular commemorative piece featuring an enamel finish layered across a struck metal base. The item is configured with a long straight stick pin fastener soldered firmly near the upper center of its flat, semi-polished reverse side. Measuring 2.2cm in width, the piece displays a thin raised metallic perimeter edge that shares the bright golden tone of the needle attachment.

The pin badge presents a crisp mid-century graphic layout divided into distinct thematic sections. A prominent silhouette of a standing hound dog dominates the right portion, outlined by thin metal cells that isolate the enameled color fill. The top left features the raised block letters "FCI" stacked over "CACIB," while the upper right corner displays a stamped apostrophe followed by the year "72." The bottom left anchors the design with a textured rendition of the iconic Z Exhibition Pavilion dome situated directly above the embossed town name "BRNO," creating a clean, geometric presentation against the solid enameled background fields.
The pin badge originates from 1972, produced to commemorate the prestigious International Dog Show held at the famous Brno Exhibition Centre in the former Czechoslovakia. Sanctioned under the Fédération Cynologique Internationale and awarding the coveted Certificat d'Aptitude au Championnat International de Beauté, this event drew prominent breeders and handlers from across Europe during the Soviet era. Collectors can explore historical records of these high-level international competitions through the Czech Kennel Union Portal or view the architectural heritage of the host fairgrounds via the Brno Exhibition Centre Archive.
