Guards Badges - Page 16

I have a guards badge on a private's uniform I bought, and the owner made a nice plastic outline of the badge to tighten the badge to the uniform. The badge aside looks well, like all the others, haha.

I was offered an inexpensive light, later issue Guards badge with the Russian letters for "SNG" or "Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)" instead of "CCCP". Anyone seen another of these?

Any chance of a photo of the "SNG" Guards Badge?

***desantnik*** · 06-30-2009, 10:32 PM

I have to buy it first...

Paul,

I've never seen or heard of one. What is the logic for this badge since there is no integrated defense force at the CIS level, therefore how can there be a Guard unit?

I don't know. I know Russia tried some form of integrated military with Belarus at least, maybe it is connected with that.

Yeah, they did.
And perhaps in the early 90s they thought it could be done?

Or maybe it is just a fake.
Edit: Not a fake! A fantasy piece!

G'day Paul,
Won't the vendor provide you with a photo or scan prior to purchase?

I love Guards Badges, particularly the WW II pieces. At last count I have 45, 15 of which are WW II types.

Regards,

Jim
