Greetings,
I picked this up in a market in Hungary about ten years ago, and just found it again, it didn't cost a lot, and i liked the look of it..thare are 3 types of badges, bronze, silver and gold...i think it is some sort of award for industrial merit...i could be wrong. So if any one has any info, i would be glad to hear......








Thousands upon thousands of martyrs have heroically laid down their lives for the people; let us hold their banner high and march ahead along the path, crimson with their blood.

This are the hungarian Socialist Brigade,s badges and flag.

The movement began in 1959, using as a model the Soviet ?Communist Brigades. It is essentially a peculiar form of work competition, but goes beyond the purely economic target pursued by them. It not only aims at excellent labour results to be attained by members, but joins the struggle for production with the formation of the new, self-conscious socialist man. The password of the movement:
to work in the socialist manner, to live in the socialist manner
In the spirit of this competition, three sorts of targets and tasks are set for the socialist brigades:

1) Obtain above average results in work.

2) Increase professional, political and general education.

3) Live in the socialist manner; lead an exemplary private life, cooperate with comrades, actively participate in social work, in public affairs, etc.
I hope i helped you.
