EricFG · 11-29-2008, 07:07 AM

What do you think of these?
Do they look like GPW-era?

i dont know about the big one ,, is sure looks older to me.
but than again i have never seen such before.

Hi Eric, one of the small ones appears to be marked "78".

Cheers, Ade.

The big one looks bulgarian or mongolian.

I'd side with Esteban on the large one, Mongolian for me.

I didn't see the '78' either.
Now it's obvious.

I wasn't even too serious about this (eBay auction). I just wanted to aquire some button knowledge.
Looks like I did.

Thanks guys! ! ! ! ! :thumbsup
