Mike McLellan Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 If the condition of those badges is any indication of how hard those guys had to work, I don’t think that I’d be a good fit for those units! Very nice collection, and welcome to GMIC. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SovPha Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Here is a new addition to my guard's badge collection. A rare classical (rounded), 45x37mm piece. The nut includes the following writing: 1. НКПС "Народный Комиссариат Путей Сообщения" - People's Commissariat of Railways 2. ШМЗ "Штамповочный Механический Завод" - Stamping Mechanical Plant Edited April 16, 2020 by SovPha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SovPha Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) I would like to share this interesting article with you all. Original article by Azad Huseynov and Heydar Mirzaev "The Red Army “Guards” badge 1942-1945". Translation by @meyerse.

meyerse Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Just for clarification, this is an extension of the book at www.savashantiques.com and Azad continues to expand the number of badges he has identified (and there is a seemingly unending variation) He has published another article in Saint Petersburg collector that I will also finish converting to English, but remember the source material is all Azad's hard work and the book is a great reference. I want to encourage him to produce an 'update' at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
