The pin badge is an openwork asymmetrical wreath frame crafted from patinated silver-colored metal. It features a hinged horizontal pin stem on the reverse side secured by a simple C-clasp catch. The piece is 4 cm wide.

The pin badge features a highly detailed, three-dimensional roaring stag head centered within a decorative woodland frame. The lower border is composed of textured oak leaves and prominent pinecones that rise up both sides toward stylized target spirals and a branch at the top. This combination of the calling red deer and traditional forestry flora carries a deeply rooted symbolic meaning tied to the autumn rutting season, traditional Czech hunting practices, and a profound respect for wild game.
This traditional style of Central European hunting adornment, known locally in the Czech Republic as a myslivecký odznak, is historically worn on lapels, traditional outdoor attire, or formal hunting hats. Valued as emblems of a rich sporting heritage, these mid-to-late 20th-century badges remain highly collectable among hunting enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
