HELP REQUESTED IDENTIFYING IMPERIAL RUSSIAN BADGE PAUL 1
WRANGEL replied to WRANGEL's topic in Russia: Imperial
Hello again, I hope these photos will be alright. Cheers Bill -
Hello Linas, The badge below the print by Carl Vernet is neither a French medal nor a French military badge, in fact I am not even sure it is French. Could you please make a close up photo of the coat of arms. Cheers Bill

HELP REQUESTED IDENTIFYING IMPERIAL RUSSIAN BADGE PAUL 1
WRANGEL replied to WRANGEL's topic in Russia: Imperial
Hello Gentlemen, Thanks for your comments, I will try to make some better pictures. Cheers Bill -
Good evening gentlemen, I need your help identifying a skull badge (the bright one). Is it a fake of the german skull (I have put one in comparison, sorry for the vert-de-gris) or is it a re-use in some foreign country (maybe South-america) of the german pattern of this skull badge ? Eyes and nose are not hollowed out. Cheers Bill

Serbia Serbia - Original Chetnik items

Good evening gentlemen, I was lucky to be able to add this few badges to my collection : Cheers Bill -
Good evening gentlemen, I need your help to identify this Russian badge I have just found in a flea market. I think the back plate and the bolt (both in silver) come from another badge. It is possible that this badge is not military, maybe some kind of school or technological institute ? Anyway it is not in werlich's book "Badges of Imperial Russia" nor in Patrikeev's volumes 1 and 2 "the badges of Russia" (unfortunately I don't own volume 3). Sory for the poor quality of the Photos. Cheers. Bill

Hello Eric, I have no idea why FIA (which stands for Fabrique d'Insignes Artistiques, formerly Augis a Lyon based maker of badges and medals) got the contract to produce those badges. The badge is for the Sport Commitee of the USSR. I believe X, XV, XX stands for 10, 15 or 20 years membership ? Cheers Bill

Hello gabatgh, These medals are definitely not French. As Tony said these are Swiss Shooting Contest Medals. There are 4 languages spoken in Switzerland : French, German, Italian and Romanche (plus Yeniche but only in the Grisons Canton). Only the first three are official languages. Cheers Bill
