Please help me identify flag!

I traded a couple of sets of old cammies from the Marine Corp for this flag on a trip to Estonia a few years back. Could anyone please help me with what this flag is about, when it was made and how much it is worth? Thanks

I dont know anything about this flag. You can type this russian letters in a russian keyboard further more copy and paste the russian words to the google search

Is there a place to get a russian keyboard fairly cheap?

It's a Komsomol (Young Communist League) flag...

It is one that is seen less often than others of the 70X-80X era...

Hi Dave, welcome to the forum!

it is great example. Most likely dates from the 1960's.

Roughly reads Glory to the Leninist Komsomol. It shows each of the Soviet Awards given to the organisation and the year awarded. Left to right: Order of the Red Banner, Order of Red Banner of Labour and the Order of Lenin.

Cheers, Ade.

Thanks for the help guys, I have wondered what this flag was about since I got it. Can anyone tell me what it is worth and is there any special way I should store it as right now it is just hanging on the wall. I have thought of buying a display case for it, but don't want to spend the money if the flag isn't worth much. Thanks again.

I am out of touch on prices.

The best way to store any flag is to roll it. Hanging them for display looks good, but will put stress on old material. I suspect to have a case made might not be cost effective but would be nice.

Cheers, Ade.
