For the 1972 Winter Olympic Games in Sapporo, Japan, the Soviet Union produced this classically styled cloisonne pin. The pin depicted in the lower photos, with the vintage stick-pin style back, is the official 1972 Soviet Union NOC pin. However, recently I have also seen on the internet the screw-back styled pin depicted in the top photos, which may be an after-market adaptation to the pin. Both are beautiful pins which I would value at $20.oo to $35.00 USD per pin (though I have seen the stick pin sell for as much as $44.00 USD).
