Osoaviakhim Voroshilov marksmans badge

Nice one Rob. I recall you buying it

Borodin: I guess your friend would have been awarded the RKKA version of the badge, like Kim showed, as opposed to the Osoaviakhim version?

Cheers, Ade.

OK, maybe I am confused. What is the difference? The ones you are showing look like what I remember his looking like.

The difference between OSOAVIAKHIM and RKKA badges is of course size, as seen on my pic. But also the text on the cog wheel to the left.

A RKKA badge is nice but my badge has a little secret... It was actually awarded NKVD troops, as seen on the stamp.

If anyone want to get deeper in to the Voroshilov badges: Here's a Young Voroshilov marksman badge.

Hi Dom, the condition of that badge is great!

Hi Kim, fantastic! I like that very much.

Cheers, Ade.
