North Lorea? oops! Tang Si, what era do you think these badges are from. I presume they're not Soviet made, but they are heavy brass and nice enamel. I have also seen later pin back versions.

I don't want it to sound any particular way, just simply made the point about Chinese fake Orders of the Patriotic War, and even Belarusian Republic Red Banners having this fixing. Interesting point about early Mongolian badges though.

Soviet Veteran's badge of First Cavalry Army
Belaruski replied to kimj's topic in Russia: Soviet Orders, Medals & Decorations
I think anniversary badges and medals were also awarded for outstanding achievements. I thing the 20th anniversary Red Army medals for example didn't only go to civil war heroes. -

The hero star looks odd without a 'Lenin' underneath it.. At least there isn't an order of Putin...

Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Belaruski replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
Well it was the late 1930's for him.. Sorry for the mistake! The T100 was also in the Winter war, and survived it. The SMK had the long barreled 76mm that ended up in the KV! and T34, whilst the T100 originally mounted the short barrel version like the T35, if I remember rightly.. -
Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Belaruski replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
Carol, you are right! The tank (only one ever made) was literally named "Sergei Mironovich Kirov" It was a double turreted KV predecessor. It was so heavily armoured and packed quite a punch that it rolled through Finnish lines and just kept going. Eventually it hit a mine, and the crew abandoned it. The Finns were unable to recover the vehicle or move it, and even were unable to destroy or dismantle it. Eventually the Soviets recovered it after the war was over. -
Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Belaruski replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
As I said, it's a riddle! Think of a very important and influential Bolshevik, who famously died in the late 30's and 'the penny should drop'. Not a corpse, more a legacy Another clue: nothing could stop him until he hit a mine, and even then he was indestructable! -
