Vintage 1980s Polish Solidarity “Solidarność” Protest Pin Badge
Own a piece of history with this authentic vintage 1980s Solidarity (Solidarność) pin badge featuring the iconic red hand-lettered union logo, crowned Polish White Eagle, and “Mazowsze” regional designation.
Founded in 1980 at the Gdańsk Shipyard, Solidarity became the first independent non-communisttrade union in a Soviet-bloc country and played a major role in the peaceful resistance movement that helped end communist rule in Poland and eventually through the wider Soviet Union. These Polish protest pins were worn by citizens and union supporters as symbols of peaceful protest, political reform, and resistance against martial law.
The iconic red, hand-lettered "Solidarność" (Solidarity) logo has a stylized Polish flag growing out of the letter "ń". To the left is the crowned Polish White Eagle coat of arms.
This badge was worn by supporters as a symbol of:
- Democratic reform
- Worker rights
- Anti-communist resistance
- Polish national pride
The Mazowsze designation refers to the important Warsaw/Masovia regional branch of the movement.
