Jani Tiainen Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Dear Friends, Excellent pictures and thanks for some award numbers I did not know before. I will be able to upload some scarce ones shortly since I managed to get large collection of 1st republic Estonian badges of Army and Kaitseliidu. Let me know if there is some special item you would like to see picture and If its availabe I'll be happy to post it! I love the quality and design of these items. Jani
Paul L Murphy Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 Very impressive items, and a very impressive collection. What is this collecting filed like in terms of fakes ? Has it been targetted by fakers or is it still relatively "safe" ?

Has it been targetted by fakers or is it still relatively "safe" ? Not completely safe but safer than 90% of the areas. Tricky thing for beginners may be the current 2nd republic pieces that were adopted for many units directly from old design and even maker is most of the time the same. When I get some time I'll post current Pilot's badge in comparison with 1930's piece. Jani
larsb001 Posted May 9, 2022 Posted May 9, 2022 A few badges relating to this tread, to the left a badge from the 7th infantry regiment, to the right a badge from the 1st Infantry Regiment. They came from the same source, both seem to be Tavast issues, the screw back suspension have been replaced with a needle system on both, enjoy!
BalkanCollector Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 These badges are truly remarkable. Amazing quality!
