Hi Guys, here is an award from my collection.

I met up with a Royal Air Force Veteran at a living history event here in the UK. He had been given this badge by a friend who used to go rifle shooting and remembered it after seeing our display. He kindly sent me the badge and I sent him some money for a few drinks as a thank you.

Cheers, Ade.

Here is the reverse showing the serial number stamped on the screwback plate.

I wonder if these serial numbers are researchable like military awards?

Cheers, Ade.

This is nice badge, about 5 years ago it was a simple one in each collectors meeting in Russia and cost as a WW2 Guards badge, approximately 2 USD. Now it's seems to be rare mushroom, and not easy to find one. I like your full complet with original screwback. ( Sometimes the screwback missed or changed

Though (unfortunately) undocumented, the badge (153366) to Senior Lieutenant Vladimir Sidorovich Pokusov is shown in the document for his (missing) 1939 Medal "For Bravery". Shown elsewhere, but:

Hi Guys, bringing this old thread back up as I have just added two more of these badges to my collection.

Here is the Grade II "Voroshilovskii Strelok" badge. A bit harder to find.

Cheers, Ade.

Next we have one which came as part of a group. Please see this thread for the other award to the same person:

Here is the scarce award document, which I was really pleased to have obtained.

The badge itself is the larger size version and is much bigger than the previous ones I have shown. (Same as Ed shows in his group.) This badge dates from 1934. The others shown date from 1932.
