Description

Two equestrian official's badges:

- London 1948 Summer Olympics Equestrian Official's Badge: Scarce original official’s badge from the “Equestrian Events” of the London 1948 Summer Olympics. Thick cardstock, 51 mm in diameter, featuring golden text on an off-white background: “Olympic Games 1948, Official, Equestrian Events.” Retains its safety pin clasp on the reverse.

- Stockholm 1956 Summer Olympics Official's Badge: Gold-plated official’s badge issued for the equestrian events of the 1956 Summer Olympics, held in Stockholm, 28 mm x 37 mm, 14 gm, depicting a classical horse and rider above Olympic rings against a green enameled background. Marked on the reverse by the maker: "Lagerstrom, Mjolby." The main 1956 Summer Games were held in Melbourne, Australia, but the equestrian events could not be held there due to quarantine regulations; Stockholm was chosen as the alternative site. The equestrian events began in June, nearly six months earlier than the official opening ceremonies in Melbourne.
