A scarce, early, metal and enamel pin with the Beitar "Kadima" emblem and four early Beitar Riga-related photographs. Riga, Latvia, [1920s].

The lot includes: a postcard-sized group photo of Beitar Riga members holding a rifle and a sign with the movement's emblem – a seven-branched Menorah with the text "Kadima" (annotated on the reverse "Beitar Riga, grade 2, 1928"); a large group photograph (17.5X23.5 cm); two smaller photographs; a blue enamel pin with the same Beitar "Kadima" emblem as seen in the photograph (diameter 2 cm). Sizes and conditions of the photographs vary; the pin in very good condition.
