Guest Rick Research Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Even we don't know everything! You've got a major haul of Khrushev era insignia. 1) Circa late 1950s Technical Sergeant in the MVD Interior Troops (if there WERE technical troops in the army infantry, could also be that, but don't think there were)2) ?????3) Very indeed late 1950s infantry Major with parachute troops. At that time, parachute troops wore branch insignia from which the officer/men came. I've got an engineer officer's parachute troops sleev diamond posted somwhere. Check for a date on the bottom-- often under the slip on tongue.4) ??? what do bottoms look like5) recent as worn generically by all army personnel-- only collar tabs would show branch6) late 1950s infantry7) depending on whether there is a manufacturer's date stamp on the bottom as a clue, either late 1950s armor/artillery or recent all branchs army8) ????9) 1950s technical engineers army 10) Civil police ("Militia") M1947 used until 196511) Civil police (Militia) junior officers M1969+12) Civil police (militia) senior officers M1969+13) yes, but what do the bottoms look like? The ends nearest the neck are rather odd looking here. Often new 4 sided boards are "retrofitted" by snipping the neck ends into earlier pointed styles.14) ?????15) Civil police (Militia) M196916) ????The medical Major General up there baffles me-- it appears to be WHITE (not bullion metallic?) fully patterned... normally shirt boards are just basic outlines. I've never seen Generals' boards dated, but officers and enlisted men's often are, with maker and size stamps underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Collins Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Doc,The boards in post #14 appear to be early East German- boards for a 1952-56 Kasernierte Volkspolizei (KVP) Luft "Gefreiter" or, in English, a Barracked Peoples' Air Police Private First Class.

Greg Collins Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Doc,I'm not going to say the other guy is wrong, but the overall shape of the board (thinner than the other Russian rounded-top boards) is more German than Russian and the rank pattern (such as it is here) is more German than Russian (stripe would be higher on the board). Still, it could be a coincidental similarity; especially when taking militias into account. Also, at that particular point in the GDR's history, a lot (if not all) of uniform supplies were coming from the USSR- a militia could have made use out of leftover, unused supplies at a later date.

The thin stripe and position of it is definately what I would not consider Soviet. I'll move it to my small DDR collection.
