Hauptmann Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi all,Okay, I finally broke down and got one... been driving me crazy, that empty space in the set. I always felt like this was a rather shabby way for the Soviet government to honor the vets of WWII . But over time, the more I looked at it, the more I began to appreciate it's design. There's alot of symbolism there. I just have to keep reminding myself to get over it's rather tinny appearance. In fact, I never got into TR tinnies either... just looked too cheap to me.But this one cost me all of $3.05 including shipping so what the hey. And, if I like it in person then perhaps I'll try and pick up some more examples. They really do look rather nice... just wish they were in thick, heavy metal as that would have added an awful lot to them I think. Can't wait to see it in person.

Riley1965 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 (edited) Dan,There are a couple of different maker's of this badge. Also, there are two different award documents, one standard cardstock document and a rare hardcover document. When you get the badge please post a pic of the reverse. I wonder if thereis a maker's mark. One version does not.Anyway, they are a nice addition to any collection. I have both examples with and with out maker's mark and the hard cover document.Enjoy!!!

Chuck In Oregon Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 That's a variation I wasn't aware of. Nice addition. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
