Soviet Young Pioneer Membership tie or Neckerchief (Galstuk
), 1990 issue.
This is GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL, Soviet period item, part of the original uniform of Soviet Young Pioneers Communist Youth – not a recent copy or post-Soviet issue.
Made of artificial silk and measures 38" x 11 1/2". There is sewn-in paper tag of a factory in Rovno region of Ukraine which shows a 1990 date of manufacture.
EXCELLENT unissued condition with only a few creases from long storage.
There are two very interesting things to note about the classic red Pioneer tie. First, as a member of the organization you might get by if you forgot to wear your membership pin, but if you forgot to wear your red tie? Well, it was not a forgivable offense!
Second, unlike other youth organizations around the world that wear or have worn kerchiefs, Pioneer ties were cut in a triangular shape to begin with, not sewn square and then folded in half by each young member to make a nice triangle!
Please note: the white shirt in our photos is not included with the tie.
