A very pretty meopta pin badge from the 1970s. It is made from metal and has a long, stick pin fastener. The badge face is 1.8cm high.

Historical Background
Optikotechna, the previous name of Meopta, was established in Přerov in 1933. In the early 1930s, it produced photo enlargers and other darkroom equipment, as well as optical lenses. By 1939, it was producing consumer cameras for the domestic market. The company's first camera was the Flexette, a 6x6 twin-lens reflex (TLR) camera, starting what would become a long line of TLR models. During WW2 they produced optics for the Axis forces and in 1945 the company changed its name to Meopta.
They are probably best known for their range of View Master handheld photo viewers known in the East as Meoskop.
