Hi Chuck,

I'm sure you are correct on the meaning, MINI.

I have seen the term used alot on ebay, and usually by russian/eastblock sellers.

I just wanted to be sure..at first I had thought it was a maker.

So if you have more Frachnik's please post them. I like the reduced awards..sometimes they have better detail that standard sized pieces.

Thanks

George

Hi Rick,

No problem.

I remember, Not too long ago either. I was talking with another collector of militaria and he used the term jeton..I had no idea what the h... he was talking about. So I bit the bullet and asked..

I guess thats the only way..since we are at it What is a FRACHNIK..I assume a MINI badge/award.?

Thanks

George

Hi Chuck,

I found most of the books I have at: http://collectrussia.com/

They are a bit $$$

I have to get books in english and they always are twice what Russian versions go for

Most run in the $200.00 or so

You can also get some Historical books from Gauntlet Publications with english Trans if you need..

I'll get titles for you of what I think are the best for the money..

Hi Chris,

The word jeton, jetton is a term used to describe a small hanging decoration..

I think the term originates in france.

Russian jetons were usually worn hanging from a button hole on the uniforn and as a watch fob for civil wear.

I have some photos I'll post when I find them.

From my understanding jetons originated before the issue of badges for military schools and acadmeys
