The pin badge is an irregular square-shaped commemorative piece with a notched upper-right step, featuring an enamel finish applied over a struck metallic base. The item is fitted with a classic straight stick pin fastener soldered firmly near the top center of its textured, patinated reverse side. Measuring 2.2cm wide, the piece displays a raised metal frame edge that shares the warm brass tone of the needle-like attachment.

The pin badge exhibits an intricate thematic composition dedicated to canine field sports. A prominent silhouette of a standing shorthand pointing dog dominates the center, rendered with a speckled texture directly within the raised metal boundaries. The top right corner contains the stamped inscription "OV ČMS KOLÍN 1976," while a green enameled ribbon-like border wraps the left and bottom perimeter, bearing the embossed text "II. MEMORIÁL R. KNOLLA" in clear block lettering against the colored fields.
The pin badge originates from 1976, minted to commemorate the second annual Richard Knoll Memorial hunting dog trials organized by the district branch of the Český Myslivecký Svaz in Kolín, Czechoslovakia. Named in honor of the legendary Czech gundog breeder and judge, this prestigious championship remains one of the pinnacle field utility competitions for pointers in Central Europe. Collectors can explore the lineage of these historical trials via the Czech Moravian Hunting Union or review the heritage of the competition through the Kolin District Archive Records.
