1. This is for the 1st Cavalry Divsion I think, couldn't quite get Google Translate to work. Also I believe it's not a true veteran badge but a souvenir one as it has a price on the back.

2. Veteran of the 4th Infantry Division
3. Veteran of the 94th Guards Infantry Division
#1 is for a Civil War unit - the 1 Cavalry Army. The design on the badge depicts a massive monument on a hill with the horse and rider that stretches across the road above as one drives underneath. It's in western Ukraine, I want to say on the road into Lvov (or Lviv in Ukrainian). Since it was a regionally well-known and impressive monument, for that reason this is a souvenir, and not truly veteran organization, badge.
1. This is the 3rd Guards Rifle Divsion. This is one of two I have and is a little different than the other as the enamel between the sun rays is blue here and the other one is white.
2. This is for a veteran of the 6th Mech Corp.
Well that's it for this round. Hopefully I'll have some more next month.
Gents, does anyone have images of the following 2 veteran badges? I managed to pick up the documents for them today but dont have them to hand.
1. "10-181й дивизии" I think it was involved in Stalingrad
2. "Ветеран 62й армии" the doc has a cool slogan on it "not a step back - fight to the death!"
Both docs are to the same person :)
I've never seen either of these documents anywhere before.
I don't think you will find anyone who will not recommend it.
I thought I had some 62nd stuff knocking about but I've obviously not photographed or scanned it yet (there is a vast backlog).
