Kev in Deva Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hallo Gents The Russian area of my collection is very small, I do have this piece which so far identificarion eludes me, its 41mm in diameter, made of metal, weighs 21 grams.I once showed it to a lady at work in Germany (a Russian-German) and she said it had a connection with Kasikstan??If I am in the wrong section please feel free to relocate it.Kevin in Deva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimZ Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Badge reads - "AlmaAty Joint Technical School"Alma Aty being the Capital of Kazhakistan I believe That is from the russian text at the bottom of the badge. As for the top .... I suspect the same thing its written - perhaps in Kazakhi?Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Good points from Jim.Alma-Aty (o(r Alma-Ata) was the capital of Kazakhstan at that time. Now, Astana.The eagle is part of the crest of Kazakhstan.Ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimZ Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 No clue on my end Kev! I can sort of follow the language.... but when I could not read the upper part I asked my other half .... who hinted its just the same but in Kazhaki! So not as much help as I'd hoped she'd be!I've never come across anything of the sort so far - but then again, I hardly look beyond military ODMs - I am so narrow minded Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
