    ROMANIA POST COMMUNIST WW2 VET INSIGNIA.


    Recommended Posts

    Hallo Gentlemen, :beer:

    at my local "Hobby Club" in the Casa Del Cultura, today I managed to pick up this little set for the pricely sum of 1 and a half Euro :o

    It consists of the stick pin and the badge of Romanian Veterans of WW2 the badge shows a "Dutch" style helmet over two crossed rifles under this the words "Veteran De Razboi." :jumping::jumping:

    To the rear is a simple pin back, I will now attempt to find the Post WW2 Communist version which was very similar but carried the Romanian Communist Emblem, they are common enough but to find one in good condition is the problem.

    The second item I obtained this week, from Germany, was the Belgian miniture Commemorative Medal of 1940-45, (ya just gotta love the lions head motif) complete with mini swords and the double prong attachment pin favoured by the Belgians and French. This will be placed along side the large version already in the collection :jumping::jumping:

    Hello Kev,

    Never saw such type of crossed swords ( Roman type) on the Belgian "Commemorative medal 1940-1945" before. I know the medal with crossed sabres, large or small ones. Maybe Hendrik, Stijn or Vatjan may assist?

    Hallo Jef :beer:

    now you mention it I have seen the crossed sabre type on pictures of the large medal, but can't recall off the top of my head, what was on the mini version :unsure:

    On my mini version the crossed swords have long wire type fixing prongs to the rear, if thats any help to identify them. :D

    The medal came via Germany but the swords dont seem like the normal German ones encountered on medals, any comments would be appreciated.

    Hello Kev,

    Above I add my mini. I suggest we wait and hear what specialists like Hendrik, Stijn, Guy or Vatjan will say. I might be wrong.

    Hallo Jef, very nice mini :jumping: and the swords are the smaller version I have seen on the big medal, mine could be from another Belgian medal, a vet replacement or totaly wrong for the medal, what Hendriks says and the others guys is perfectly good for me.
