  • A very pretty enamel pin badge from the former Soviet Union.

    The badge face is 4.2cm wide and has a clasp style safety fastener to the rear.

  • The badge features the Tupolev 144 that first flew in 1968 and the initials CCCP.

    The Tupolev Tu-144 was the first commercial supersonic transport aircraft.
  • The prototype first flew on 31 December 1968 near Moscow, two months before the first flight of Concorde. The frequent comparisons to Concorde led to the Tu-144 being known as "Konkordski" in the West.
