Fringed Guards badge. Post-war or not?

[Adrian Stevenson]

I don't have that book yet. I am ashamed to say my lack of Russian language skills has put me off buying it.

I once saw a solid plastic Guards badge for sale. It did appear to have some age to it, but the dealer was touting it as a "Rare WW2 badge", which I did not believe for a second. I would have bought it as a curiosity, but the £65 price tag put me off!

Cheers, Ade.

Ade,

I don't either, but just picked up a good Russian-English dictionary! My collecting has gotten to the point where I need to start learning the language. I can recognize a few words, that is all. I have considered classes at the local university.
