Veteran badges

[Woolgar]

Very nice Nick! Did you buy the book in Europe? Still searching myself without any luck. Looking forward to see which other badges you're gonna show here

I bought it from US Marcel, luckily didn’t need to pay any customs charges

The Russians do design some great stuff, I was looking at a deep see divers badge earlier on ebay, was only a couple of pounds and really caught my eye

On its way to me now: Veteran of 2nd Shock Army

Marcel nice badge ,

This one is very often shown with the defense of Leningrad ribbon , which is logical for the 2nd Shock Army .

[Marcel Banziger]

Thanks Dom. Will keep an eye out for the badge with Leningrad ribbon. Would be nice to display together!

Didn't know about the book, will see if I can find it.
It is really fascinating how many types and variations of these veterans badges exist.

New addition: 56th Army veteran

Naval Fleet veteran. Don't yet know if this is for submariners only due to the design. Have no info on this badge yet.
