Snoopy Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hello I have just returned from a trip to Riga. I bought these items very cheap, from a street vendor. I wonder if anyone can tell me what they are, and if it's just something made for tourists. Thank's in advance.All the bestSnoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 First ugly little badge (never seen that before) is for Excellent GUARD/SENTRY Service in whatever that organization is or was. It's in Russian.Zhukov Medal was handed out to all WW2 veterans alive in 1996.The Labor Veteran was given to anyone in a civilian job on retirement.Both are quite common.

Snoopy Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thank you very much guys. The badge is actually not that small. It's the size of a medal. I think that the face of the soldier, looks a bit like the monster from the Alien movies. Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 :Cat-Scratch: DOH!!!! It is sooooo ugly I assumed some version of the VOKhR or similar semi-civilian outfit.... Brain never clicked on the Military District abbreviation. I've never seen another one like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
