Ed_Haynes Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Nice, Rick! Thanks for posting these. We need to know much more about Cuban awards. Hope this forum can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Gaszewski Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Excellent post, Rick! Thank you a lot. BTW: the latest information about Cuban awards I have comes from very early 1990s. Also these rare items that occassionally pop up on internet auctions are excluively the ones established prior to 1990s, or at least I have not found any others. An interesting point: has anyone ever met a Cuban award instituted in 1990s or 2000s?Lukasz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 No, those disks are apparently how the centers ? screw together ? or are there to hide microfilm in or something. Look what I just found today: heavy, bronze, fantastic enamel:The screw dissk has the "truncated star" of Pobeda's "anonymous" maker mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Nice badge! I bet you are glad you have nice friends who tell you about where to find these things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 No, nice friends who then don't go back to shows! He only had the one, so either the other two sold last month or are in another "Halloween candy" container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulsterman Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Given there were NO other Hungarian items there last month-he i.d.ed what I got as "Yugoslavian", which he got off some "strret vendor" in Czechoslovakia last year, I would reckon there's more. I will certainly TRY to be there, cash in hand , next month. Maybe there will be a partisan badge-type 1.....He didn't have those Bulgarian medals either-and some Russian guy pulled about half a dozen older Soviet and DDR sports badges out of the bin. I recognized one as a 1949/50 "dynamo" badge. He got it for $12! Edited March 6, 2007 by Ulsterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerd Becker Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Beautiful badge, Rick. When do you think, was it produced? From what i have seen so far, they used brass for these badges until the end of the 1950ies? Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
