    1. NIS04 -- Veteran of the 2nd Guards Army Reverse mirror-imaged, plain. While we see others for this unit (p. 17), not this one.
    2. From the Kravschenko group see http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=6207 for more. OK, maybe too early (or too late?) for Paul, but I have to show it here. NIS03 -- Veteran of the 1st Cavalry Army
    3. An orphaned document (no badge, help?) for a metro badge of some sort. Help? Outside.
    4. The red ball-point pen does seem to have made an impression on the paper and to have left some blobs behind. Clearly someone signed His name.
    5. And inside. No printing information here either. The badge is, however, missing from the group (???).
    6. And another (Similar) document for another (similar) badge.
    7. 8 Guards Army While this really isn't "NIS" since Paul shows this on p. 20 (upper left), the document might be interesting, especially when compared to the following document. Outside.
    8. And the magical incantation on the back that reveals the printing history (?).
    9. NIS02 -- Something Railway? Given the group of which this is a part Andreev's see http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=29980 for full coverage), railway-related?
    10. The more I real Paul Schmitt's recent book on WWII Soviet veteran badges, the more I like it (and the more I re-read it). Inevitably, some new ones emerge (the "NIS" -- Not in Schmitt -- badges) and some additional illustrations seem useful. I add these here and hope others will do so as well.
    11. He was, it seems, an MP in the US Army. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr_T
    12. A very nice acquisition. Congratulations!
    13. Very nice and very rare, especially the Bosnia and Kurdistan medals. The Liyakat is nice too, nicer than the German knock-offs.
    14. Thanks, Rick Meister. Even stupid me though something was odd here.
    15. Lovely lovely stuff, and they still hire Gorkhas in Brunei, I think. Have just been drooing!!
    16. Lovely lovely things, Hugh.
    17. Advance apologies for stupidity and illiteracy, but what is this?
