coldstream Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I picked this up at the weekend and am wondering if any of our Soviet collectors can help me with an identification. The insignia is mounted on a red felt backed wooden board which measures 8 x 4 inches and I believe that the top insignia is the standard cap badge and collar insignia for a motorised rifle regiment? ( any help or corrections appreciated!)Could anyone tell me what the large bottom medallion refers to please? I was wondering if it refered to a specific place or barracks or maybe its unrelated and just a mismatch for the greedy collector like me! By the way it cost me 75p so hopefully its at least worth that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi Coldstream,The bottom medaillon refers to :* Seal of the USSR and its 15 Republics.* Symbolic views of the Kremlin of Moscow : walls, towers, State Kremlin Palace, Kremlin Palace... and, maybe in the background, the Cosmos hotel with the Air/Space Monument...Hope this helps...Cheers.Ch.

Eric Gaumann Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 So a general, political nicknack then? If so it's nice. And cool. And certainly worth 75p.I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
