Ulsterman Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Nice, rare, rare rare pics.I LOVE the sport badges being worn. I reckon they are worth a LOT more than you paid for them back in 2001! :Cat-Scratch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck In Oregon Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 and the last sadly! tank and infantry brothers me thinks! one looks like he has an officers academy badge on him!! hope you like them all! * * * * *VERY nice pix. I love the early photos. I've been cataloguing a bunch of mine recently.Could the young man on the right be wearing a DOSAAF Activist badge? Not that clear, but could be.I especially like the pilot photo.Thanks for letting us see these. Please post all you care to share.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Gaumann Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Nice stuff Patrick! I love that early era stuff.I'd love to figure out what awards they all have. Is one the 'ready for chemical defense' badge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddywhack Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 no worries and thanks for liking them as much as i do!!!!actully if anyone does know what the badges that would be great as i actully no NOTHING of pre-war soviet badges(well i mean apart from the red banner lening etc!!! )thanks again! :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck In Oregon Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 no worries and thanks for liking them as much as i do!!!!actully if anyone does know what the badges that would be great as i actully no NOTHING of pre-war soviet badges(well i mean apart from the red banner lening etc!!! )thanks again! * * * * *Well, I'll try.The middle guy in Post #1 looks to have a Pioneer Troops collar insignia. I can't tell on the other two.In post #2 the guy on the left has an Osoaviakhim badge, "Ready for PVKhO" which is, I believe, Air and Chemical Defense.Post #3 is pretty hazy. Maybe a Voroshilov Shooter's Badge on the left and a Ready for PVKhO on the right, but just guesses from the shapes.In Post #4 I'd guess an early GTO badge on the left and an Osoaviakhim Voroshilov Shooter's Badge on the right.In Post #6 the guy on the left is a tankist, of course. I think I'll retract my comment about the DOSAAF Activist badge on the right. That shape looks familiar but I can't quite place it. Seems like I should be able to ID that watch, too, but I can't quite do that either. Maybe it will come to me.I hope that someone else can give you a little more help.Thanks again for sharing these. That pilot looks like he just stepped out of "Dawn Patrol" or off of a DOSAAF poster.Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
