Hi Bill, I too love the design of these badges. There are many variations of them to collect. Here are a few of mine.
Cheers, Ade.
Nice examples, Ade, and although I prefer the WWII issue pieces to the post war examples, like these, they too are nice.
I agree with you Bill. The 1950's era badges are still great quality.
Cheers, Ade.
Adrian and Bill , Very nice badges !! Congrat Bill ! for your new acquisition ! please post a pic from the back of the badge for reference !!
Thanks, Pierre, here is a scan of the reverse with the screwback device. . .
Here is mine, rare - Estonian made Guards badge.

I'd really like to add an Estonian manufactured Guard's Badge to the collection. In the meantime, here is another I picked up recently. . .
Here is mine. A bit salty, but I believe an authentic GPW issue Guards Badge.
I take the opportunity to make a question: Considering the fact that the frontoviks used to wear these badges in their combat tunics , why is it that there are not many punctured gimnasterkas around? At least I have not seen many.
Did they use some method to prevent drilling a hole in their shirts?
Regards,
Gus
