Hi, I found this badge and award letter amongst family possessions in the attic recently. I posted a thread asking what it is and got a very kind reply saying it was a Chetnik badge. It was given to my relative, a British Army Officer in Italy (see letter). Any idea of value and why would it be given to  a British Army Officer)

I unearthed this badge and award letter amongst family possessions during a clear out. It seems to have been awarded to a relative who was in the British Army, in November 1945 in Italy . Seems strange to give it to a British Officer? It is numbered 000516 on the back. Can anyone explain? Is it worth anything?

Can anyone tell me where I can find the award document for a Russian soldier awarded the Military Medal during WW2. Is there a list of foreign recipients available at Kew? Many thanks, B.

Hi, could anyone help me with any dealers that specialize in Imperial Russian militaria. I am only looking for basic stuff like an enlisted mans and officers cockade. I am in the U.K. I tried collectrussia.com but they have to charge huge postage costs for the U.K. Are their any reputable dealers in Europe/Russia or a Russian collectors forum other than this one?

Hi, does anyone out there have one of these surplus to requirements that they would like to sell? I was in Russia a short time ago where I saw several but stupidly didn't buy. EBay prices seem a bit over the top but as a starter in the collecting game what do I know! Any pointers appreciated. B
