Bob,

Looks like another great show.

Dean

Dean,

Thanks for the comment:rolleyes: . I hope you have a good second show. It would be nice if others would post some pictures of Military Shows.

More swords. This show is not as large as the show in the spring as it happened to be the same weekend as the MAX SHOW out east and several of the dealers go to that one instead.

Bob

Navy uniforms and rifles.

North and South Vietnamese and various.

Books and dummy water cooled machine gun.

I didn't have a lot of time to take pictures this year as I was selling items too (my first time selling). This is my overall display of Iraqi items. Sorry about the reflection from the lights.

Bob

A UN Beret Badge for Russian Peace Keeping Forces. Possible unofficial badge?

Bob

This is a small collection of various badges from different Russian Departments and Services. Years ago at Gun and Militaria Shows one would see all kinds of these badges for sale.

Bob

The last two arm patches are unknown.

Bob

I found more patches.

Bob

As far as I'm concerned the patch at the down right corner is a "Belarus airborne" patch

Thank you for the information.

This is my small collection of arm patches from Russia, Ukraine, and one from Chechnya. All the patches that do not have a country listed with the patch are from Russia otherwise the country will be listed with the patch.

I tried to be as accurate as possible so if anyone sees a mistake or has something to add, please feel free to do so.

Here is a button with the same insignia of the Airforce Wing:

Lorenzo,

If these are the same insignia, why do the wings have a torch in the center and the button has a crown above the wings?

Bob

Hi Bob, call me Captain Obvious, but it would seem that Special Forces and Thunders are one in the same and not different formations as previously thought. I would still have to wonder about paras though... Sometimes I see Special Forces used with the Eagle/Dragon symbol and other times I see Special Forces used with the Eagle/Parachute symbol, and it seems that just about everyone wears wings! I also see that many of the "Special Forces" units carry Republican Guard designations. It's all clear as mud to me . Scott.

Scott,

It is my understanding that the "Thunder Troops" are a special unit inside the Special Forces.
