Hi Everyone!

[Commissar]

Thanks again for the warm welcomes, I really only started about a year or so ago by purchasing my first military issue Ushanka hat from a Russian vendor on the internet complete with Soviet insignia...I got addicted!

Welcome! If you are ever looking to start a patch collection, let me know Granted, once you start you might not be able to stop, haha.

I've been reading these forums as a shadow for a while now and i've decided to finally take the plunge and register!

I haven't been collecting for very long and this place seems to be a priceless treasure trove of useful information!

Anyway, Thankyou very much for having me guys!

Out of curiosity, Tom, what are your collecting interests?

[Tommy]

Thanks guys :-).

Soviet orders, medals and badges are all my thing! Military and civilian.

Im finding starting my collection pretty tough the moment as in starting completely from square one and there's so much out there!


I have a couple of items at the moment but im really just looking to start getting some nice pieces :-)

Any suggestions of a good place to start would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again guys!

Tommy
