IrishGunner Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The pickings are getting smaller; two belts (one Soviet; one Armenian), a Guards badge from the 50s, a pair of shoulder boards (got these free with the Soviet belt just because I looked at them!), and a hand-carved walnut backgammon board with obsidian stone dice as a Christmas present for my wife (yes, she plays - she's ruthless). More details on the Soviet belt and buckle and the Guards badge in the USSR sub-forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishGunner Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Rick... FANTASTIC finds!!!! And that backgammon set is exquisite!!!! Dan Yes, I'm really happy with the backgammon board; I've been looking at these hand-carved boards for the last 5 months and just couldn't find one that I liked that was also the right size (most are way too big) and at the right price. This one is actually the best one I've seen and cost less than two Red Stars. Now at least when my wife kicks my butt playing, it'll be on a really nice board.
