Detailed Visual Description

This antique pin depicts a stylized footprint, with a golden outline and embossed details reminiscent of toes and the sole. The upper part of the pin features a perfectly legible blue inscription "Tous à BARI avec l'OM," referencing a historical event of Olympique de Marseille. The lower area of the pin is adorned with a vibrant blue solid color, contrasting with the light beige background of the rest of the surface. The finish presents a bright metallic appearance around the edge and an enamel colored area on the sole, typical of pins from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The visible side shows no major apparent defects: the gilding of the outline is continuous, the enamel colors are clear and well-preserved. The contours are sharp, and the handwritten typography of the inscription adds a retro touch characteristic of certain commemorative editions related to supporter trips. This badge was clearly designed to celebrate or encourage a trip to Bari, which refers to the 1991 Champions League final, where OM faced Red Star Belgrade in Italy.

The overall shape of the pin faithfully follows that of a footprint, which distinguishes it from more classic round or rectangular models. This design originality makes it an easily recognizable item for enthusiasts of sports memorabilia related to Olympique de Marseille. The strong contrast between the vibrant blue and the gilding highlights the visual identity of the Phocaean club, whose emblematic color is blue.

The front face shown in the photo does not reveal deep scratches, missing enamel, or major alterations. The lettering remains legible, and the surface retains a beautiful shine. The manufacturing seems typical of enameled pins from the period mentioned, with meticulous details in the molding and color application.
