Hi Chris,
Good to hear from you again. Your Submariner is a post-war issue, but even they are quite rare. Your Sniper is actually nickel-plated. I can't explain why, but I guess they were made at some front-line shop, that used whaever materials were available. I have also seen nickel-plated Tanker, Machine-Gunner, and some others. They are very popular between collectors. Alexei |

Chris,
Thanks for posting them. They are actually yet another variation with just the shield border nickel-plated. Quite interesting. I have even seen an Artillery badge with enameled shield border. Alexei |

Chris,
Here it is. I think this is the most unusual one I have ever seen, probabaly made at some small front-line shopt. Notice how huge the hammer and sickle is. Alexei |

I did not realise that they knocked them up at the front.
Maybe it explains this one I have...... It is three piece....? and the back you can see the parts attached by rivets and may be repaired Last edited by CtahhR; 09-08-2012 at 04:49 AM. |
