"Ready for Labour and Defence of the USSR", abbreviated GTO
GTO, was an All-Union physical culture training program in the Soviet Union. Unlike the Unified Sports classification system, the GTO didn't concern athletes, but all subjects of the state from toddlers to grandparents.
Apparently, someone was too lazy for physical exercise and rewarded himself by nicking a box of these badges, and naturally sold them to us. Different classes and colors are in the mix, we won't separate them because, in Soviet Russia, equal is you!
Diameter about 2.5 cm (1"), pin attachment on the back.
And NO, we will not pick specific awards, you'll just get the next one in the box. Judging from the newest lot it's probably a "golden" one. Generally availability is uncertain, as you might have guessed.
Remove Russia
Our old product descriptions include ironic praise of our eastern neighbor and it used to be good fun. Does it piss you off? We understand and agree. However, we won't whitewash the old product descriptions. Instead, we have decided to stop buying Russian products. We sell what we have in stock and that's it.
