Betar Movement & Ze’ev Jabotinsky Enamel Pin – Gilt Brass, Possibly Eastern Europe / Israel, Mid-20th Century | 25×18 mm - Vintage Zionist lapel pin of the Betar Movement (Brit Yosef Trumpeldor), featuring a portrait relief of the movement’s founder and Revisionist Zionist leader Ze’ev Jabotinsky, alongside the Betar emblem – the seven-branched Menorah with the Hebrew inscription “בית״ר” (Betar). Made of stamped gilt brass with enamel decoration. The front shows Jabotinsky’s profile in raised gold-tone relief next to the enamel Betar symbol. The reverse is plain with an original soldered pin attachment, typical of older organizational and youth movement badges. Based on the manufacturing style, pin construction, and reverse design, the badge may not necessarily be Israeli-made; it could have been produced for Betar communities in the Jewish diaspora, possibly Eastern Europe (Poland / Baltic region / former Soviet areas), where the Betar movement had a strong presence. Size: approx. 25 × 18 mm. Condition: age-related wear, light loss to the gilt finish and edges, enamel generally well preserved. An interesting Zionist collectible associated with the Revisionist movement, Betar, and the legacy of Ze’ev Jabotinsky.
