At the 1984 Olympics I traded a 711 corporate pin for this pin from a Chinese team athlete. I had heard that only 200 were made and a pin vender saw it and offered to trade 10 ABC pins for it. Now I cannot find any samples/examples of this pin anywhere.

Can anyone give me any information on this pin?

Search for Taiwan, not China...

T.A. Trust me, world politics is not my forte but I cannot imagine Taiwan putting “Republic of China” on anything they would produce in the eighties or now. Any reason you might think this pin would be connect to Taiwan?

Agree withta.

The FLAG is Taiwan-- the "Republic of China". What we commonly call China is actually the "PEOPLES Republic of China".
