Chris S Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Hi GuysI have to admit space badges are a field totally on their own to most...I found a small amount and found them so attractive I bought them..I think they are quite early in the space race..any ideas from more experienced space collectors appreciated.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauptmann Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi all,Well, here are my very meagre contributions to this thread. As much as I love the study of space and The Space Race I have managed to acquire only two pieces... one of which is a copy. I hope to add more to my collection in the future.First a space pin... no idea what is says except for the first word... "Glory", or what it's for. One of the first such Soviet pins I ever purchased.[attachmentid=51824][attachmentid=51825]And a copy of the Pilot Cosmonaut Of The USSR:[attachmentid=51826][attachmentid=51827]If anyone has an original of that one please post it as I'm sure we'd all love to see it.

fjcp Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Not the greatest quality, but since Mongolian items are my thing I had to have it!I believe there were only two mongolians ever to go into space, so a fun little badge.JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with only a couple of their cosmonauts having gone out there I'd think it might end up being a pretty rare item some day. Here's hoping! And thanks for posting it.
