Hard Rock Core Dragon and Flag Guitar Pins
Hello Collectors, I am looking for some Hard Rock Cafe and Hotel Core Dragon and Flag Guitar Pins:
- Hard Rock Cafe Innsbruck (2nd Version) Core Dragon and Flag Guitar Pin
- Hard Rock Cafe St. Maarten Core Dragon and Flag Guitar Pin
I have built a subpage with all my Hard Rock Core Dragon and Flag Guitar Pins to get a better overview. I just collect the pins from locations I have visited so it’s not a complete list with pins from this series. Please have a look on Core Dragon and FlagGuitar Series.
Below you’ll find pictures of the pins I am looking for at the moment:

Why I’m Looking for Core Dragon & Flag Guitar Pins
As a dedicated collector, I’ve long been drawn to the Core Dragon & Flag Guitar pin series — one of the most iconic and global Hard Rock pin lines. These 3D pins feature a dragon wrapped around a vertical guitar decorated with a national or regional flag, making them visually stunning and deeply symbolic.
What Makes These Pins So Special
These pins are not just souvenirs — they represent the spirit of Hard Rock’s global reach:
- 3D Design: The dragon and guitar are sculpted in three dimensions, giving the pins a premium feel.
- Metallic Finish: Depending on the location, the base metal has different tones (antique copper, silver, gold, etc.), which makes each version unique.
- Flag Motif: The guitar body is painted with the flag of the country or region where the Hard Rock Café or Hotel is located.

Why Some Pins Are Hard to Find
Due to their global distribution and popularity, Core Dragon & Flag Guitar pins are often limited in stock and can be tough to track down, especially for certain locations. I only collect pins from places I’ve personally visited, which means some editions remain missing from my collection — but that just adds to the thrill of the hunt.
How You Can Help
If you are a fellow collector, trader, or just someone who happened to pick up one of the missing ones and doesn’t need it — I would love to hear from you. Whether you want to sell or trade, every lead helps.

What Happens When I Find Them
When I do manage to get any of the missing pins (Innsbruck 2nd version and St. Maarten, or others), I will:
- Update the subpage for the Core Dragon & Flag Guitar series with clear photos of the front
- Share a short story about how I found it (trip, trade, or lucky find)
- Thank the collector or seller — because this community is what keeps collecting alive
