This classically styled pin dates back to the 1976 Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria. Measuring 28mm in height and 12mm wide, it is a true cloisonne with a stick pin that bears no markings on the back side of the pin. In 1976 the Bulgarian hockey team finished 0-5-0 in the consolation round and was the only team in the Olympic hockey tournament to not win a single game . . . but they were one of the few teams with a hockey-dedicated NOC pin.
