Romania Any reference books on Romanian badges or medals?

[TeaRex]

Hi All, I hope this is not an obvious question but are there any decent books on Romanian Communist period badges, insignia and medals? I think I've seen one of airforce wings, but any others? I'm a firm believer in getting good reference books, can save a world of pain to have some good knowledge behind you at times.

Take a look here:

In my opinion, if you're looking for something on the scale of "Soviet Orders and Medals", Avers 6 or Bartel's 1, you're going to be disappointed. I have found, however, that the little info gathered from Ranier Schmitt's book (and other sources cited in the link above), coupled with the info gathered on this forum, will more than suffice when dealing with this period of Romanian history. Good luck!:cheers:
