That brings back memories... 'Soyuz' was the first Russian word I learned to read!
Nice pins, too...

Gordon, I think your badge is a Parachute-Jumper qualification. PJs are specially-trained medics capable of parachute insertion into wherever their medical skills are needed, whether it is a combat situation, rough country where you cannot land or winch down, at sea (they have to be excellent swimmers) and so on.

I'd say zodiac signs as well. The band around the globe represents the ecliptic, and on it - if you are in to western astrology - you can mark the succession of 'houses' through which the earth moves... No doubt the original idea, but later jewellers weren't astrologers so carved something more or less like the original design rather than getting it precisely right.

An Morton & Eden auction catalogue - if you catch it at just the right time they put up some very high quality jpeg images, but they only are around for a couple of weeks so you have to move fast!
