Interesting Badge but no idea what it is for
 Maybe a translator out there? Regards Eddie

Hi Marc,
Sorry no info on that one, I've been keeping a look out for info on it though. Not GDR that seems fairly certain. From the initials it seems Latvian, although it's strange that the P isn't on the top ray of the star. Regards Eddie.

Industrial Cooperative
I believe this is for the Winner of a Socialist Competition of an Industrial Cooperative, and is a close relative of the badge in this post:

Thanks very much Keith,
I was hoping you would have a look because of your interest in Baltic state items What is your opinion on Marcs Badge, any ideas? Best regards Eddie.

Marc's badge
Eddie,
Marc's badge is interesting, LPSR stands for Latvian SSR in the Latvian language, so I am pretty sure that this is Latvian. I would guess from the symbols that this is either from the Soviet period in Eastern Latvia from 1918-1920 or the first complete Soviet period in Latvia from 1940-1941. Mostly likely this is not an award, but who knows, perhaps it is some high level rare decoration. I have seen similar, but not the exact same thing, for Estonia from 1940-41. Keith |

Thanks Keith, I thought that it most likely was from the Baltic states, but don't know much about them. I tend to think that is relates to the immediate post-revooution period, but that is just a gut feeling.
