Hi Bill,

Lovely badge if real - there are a lot of fakes out there!

To me the name looks like: V. Lashin' (В. Лашинь) but not sure aout the ending though.

Hope this helps.

I would like some information about this badge.

Welcome. The badge commemorates when an imperial tsarist regiment rebelled and threw in its lot with the Communists in a Battleship Aurora-type situation.

If memory serves me correctly, it occurred earlier than the actual revolution and was cracked down on pretty harshly.

I'm sure if you search Wikipedia or enter Volhyn Regiment in a search engine you should be able to come up with more info.

Thank you for the replies. Much appreciated.

How would I be able identify if it is a fake or not?

Is there any way to find out more about who it was awarded to?

Regards,
BillT
