Olympic Games/ Summer, 1956, Stockholm/ Equestrian/ France. - Lot 267

Olympic Games/ Summer, 1956, Stockholm/ Equestrian/ France. Due to the health quarantine imposed on horses in Australia, the Olympic equestrian events were relocated to Stockholm from June 10 to 17, 1956. 29 nations took part in this often overlooked but essential celebration, and 158 riders competed for the six Olympic titles at stake. In other words, the French delegation was very small (8). The importance and interest of this enamelled tricolour cockerel badge over the Olympic date of 1956, and the historic and unexpected location of Stockholm. Perfect condition. H: 2.7 cm. For the record, these Games were illustrated by Pas Smythe, Winckler, Linsenhoff and the Inzeo brothers. An important piece.
