Yugoslavia Unknown air defence badge

[sebastian]

On the following picture is presented the badge which arrived in my collection last week. The badge measures about 2 cm in diameter. It seems to be an air defence badge (PVO = protiv vazdu?na odbrana = air defence). But this is the only thing that I can guess about this badge.

I will be grateful for any information about it.

Well, ARJ stands for "Anti-raketna jedinica" (Anti-Rocket Unit), and - as you already guessed - PVO iz "Protiv-vazdusna odbrana", which is "Air Attack Defense".

Dear Sebastijan,

that nicely designed badge looks rather similar in design to the (standard) YU-Guards-badge.

That might indicate, that the YU-anti-rocket-troops had automatically a "Guards-level" ?

Best regards

Dragomire,

you are wrong.

ARJ PVO means: "Artiljerijsko-raketne jedinice protivvazdusne odbrane"

or

"Artillery-rocket units of anti-air attack defence"

I stand corrected!

Your are right, I was wrong.

Is it possible that it is a pre-military school cap badge?

The same topic?

I have the same badge as Anatoly's in my collection. From other collectors I was told that this is badge of anti aircraft protection which was organized in factories and that abbreviation PAZ stays for Protiv Avionska Za?tita = anti aircraft protection. But till now I have no oportunity to verify these informations in literature.

For sure it is not a pre-military cap badge. Here is a picture of a pre-military cap badge (it is not from my collection, the picture was taken from internet) which is different form Anatoly's badge:

This bange is also unknown to me.

But to my opinion it is not a badge of anti aircraft protection as Sebastian says.

I'm not shure what letters PAZ mean.

Can you post reverse and bigger pictures please ?

Hello guys. SasaYU warned me about this topic so here I am. A set of anti-aircraft protection from my collection composed of two certificates (wife and husband), book of instructions how to protect yourself before aircraft attacks, biochemical gases and similar, a flyer and of course a badge.
