Good afternoon dear fellow collectors. I would like to share with you the photo of a cockade I bought in recent times. The seller had no idea of its origins and actually sold it to me for cheap. Since the first moment I saw it I thought I never saw something like that before; given the fact I am collecting Communist era hat badges since some time the hat badge interested me a lot. I came to the conclusion that it could have been a Yugoslav partisan hat badge and the element which brought me to this cnocnlusion is the flag in the lower part of the cockade. I believe the red color is missing, and the red color itself together with white and blue makes the Yugoslav flag. Could absolutely be that I am terribly wrong.. The cockade is made of brass and is quite flat; on the reverse it shows the two prongs you can see on its right side. Opinions? Thank you very much! GC

Here a better photo of the badge at issue!

Good afternoon to everybody dear fellow collectors! I am new on this forum although I followed many conversations and had the chance to study amazing images posted in this forum. I am a collector of hat badges, from the USSR, following CIS countries and former Warsaw Pact countries. Here my hat badges collection with on the right a badge I received as present from a friend who believed it was a hat badge. I am quite sure it is not, even if I am no expert about badges. Somebody could help me in defying it? (I can post better pictures of the hat badges, with measurment and details of the reverse). Since the only badges I collect are the USSR Guard's ones I think that without offending my dear friend I will sell this. Thank you very much. GC
